That looks mint - love the alloys. I hate modding expensive cars, but looking at that side on view, some kind of 'smoked' rear lights would finish it off.

some strong opinions here about not buying a 15k vauxhall 
r32's interesting...
add another factor to consider then, i don't want insane running/maintenance insurance costs. what would the r32, dc5, 330 etc be like compared to the vxr

They are around the 20-23k mark at the moment so I cant wait till I can afford one in the next couple years

It depends to be honest on the mileage car - remember if you get a brand new or very nearly new VXR it'll have a few years warranty remaining!
E46 330's at your price range aren't likely to. Although if you go through a BMW dealer you get 1 years dealership warranty.
No idea about the DC5's - reliable Jap motor I suppose and same with the R32, apart from it being German

the wheels are OEM wheels from audi
Personally I would saty away from m3's - I would love one but for that money you are looking at very bad newer examples or very good old examples which I wouldn't want to pay if you know what I mean
Insurance is a big issue depending on your situation

oh yes now thats a good choice although you would not get one for 15K
Plus apart form the 2 tone and recaro's there is little difference to te 225 and remap to the same power
Plus they are 237 BHP

my dad said he notices loads of differences between the 225 and the sport, sharper handling and loads more torque, scared me a bit when he first took me out in it feels like your in a shoe box with that small windscreen!

yes as standard you will notice a differnce in performance as it pulls slighter harder but after the remap they are the same
The QS has slightly thicker ARB so yes handling is slightly better but its very good in the 225
