I love the new piano black dash inserts as well, look awesome. Are you going to change yours Daimo in the VXR? I think as soon as we can get a part number I'll be changing ours.
all dash is interchangable-door cards are changeable-u can customixe all dash and interior trims.

fact is, it will sell. itll be quick, it will give close competition a scare for their money.
its a nice car,even lower spec models are nice to drive,looks the part.comes standard with parts fitted that modifiers fit themselves.
its a car for people who love to just go out for a blast.for people who love cars.
people slag it off because it isnt german,and hasnt been made by hanz bierhoff.
its a good looking car, people will stop and stare at it because it will have amazing road presence like the astra vxr does. vauxhall use marketing ploys to advertise the new vxr range-they wanted to stir peoples emotions and they have been very successful with it.

Most of the best features are optional extras.

It looks good in that last picture but IMO i still think the extra window and the position of the side mirrors let it down apart from that doesn't look too bad, and from the performance write up should be a monster.

Im sure it'll be the same as the Astra.
Red will be free.
Blue and others will be £300.
18" (like the 19"s on the astra) are £500
Sat Nav will be £1500
Leather upgrade etc....
Then you can have the extras like exhaust, bigger brakes, but i wouldn't let no Vauxhall monkey at a dealer fit it, as said, id go to TMS.
Steve, what small car has Audi made thats 10x worse than the Corsa?
The A2. A Minibus that has Dwarf syndrom.

Like the Astra VXR the Corsa VXR has to have bigger wheel option, so the 500 quid upgrade option is good.

Surely it could be fitted to a UK model.
