Looks pretty cool.
Although to the unknown, It will just look like a clio they left in primer and with boy racer bits added!

[internet]but you never pay the list price if you go into the dealer they will knock 50% off[/internet]
Not sure on the clio but that's completely true for the corsa.
Just as a perfect example to Steve who only lives his life on the Internet
Corsa VXR price when walked through the door Arden blue with 18s - 19k
Corsa VXR price signed on the dotted line 15.1k

So let me get this straight. You experienced gearbox trouble on you your Clio so you want to buy an Astra VXR

When saying raider I automatically took Renault 5's into my head
I couldnt spend 20k or even near that on a new hatch, I like the corsa vxr burg edition but much rather have an older car where you can get much more for your money

From what I understand you get larger wheels renaultid paint (matt grey or red) decals, recaros and thats it.
Lovely though!

Red wheels with the decals would make it look to much like a copy cat of the R26R I think.

Those matte colours are much better in the skin so to speak.
I'd have one if I didn't already have a 200 Cup Trophee

Are they wrapped? Apart from the matte paint they don't look any different from a standard 200 and the interior (bar the seats) is shocking.
For £20k I'll have a 2nd hand one of these instead which won't be worth 5p after 3 years:
