you can change ythe details on the log book to say corsa vxr if you wanted to. thus making internet detail searches come back as a corsa vxr. its quite simple and been done a few times in the past with sierra cossies that were not actually a cosworth etc.

Didn't know that. So in theory if I had the know how and the money I could make mine in to an S3.
That guy Ojc knows might know if this is the real deal or not?

Well well well well well
Who wants the real answer straight from Vauxhalls mouth?
And anyone who says "my mate has a white Corsa VXR" is talking complete and utter shite unless it's an Arctic.

Nope
This is going to be one of those cars that is going to be legendary within the Vauxhall scene for years to come and time and time again I can see this question being asked each time this car is sold
Well here is the answer.
Hi mate
Yep its the only white Corsa non Arctic that was ever made
We built it and ordered it up for the Motorshow a couple of years ago and used it as a base for the Arctic photography etc etc until the real Arctics started coming through
Good Spot
Cheers Dougie

I should ask how the bloke who owns it come to have it in his possession, I'd love to own something like that.

Yeah be cool to say you own the only one of something. Although the Arctic looks better and is still pretty rare.

That's not the real answer then, someone's mate could infact have a white, non arctic, VXR.

Yes John, but everyone in this thread is claiming to know someone with a non Arctic white Corsa VXR when infact there is only ONE and it's for sale.
Unless everyone is friends with the owner of this certain car, which is highly unlikely.
