Well said good buy to the VXR this morning

Corsa at 9.30am this morning









Looked a bit odd so this afternoon Strat (Alex) and I de badged it, fitted new plates, Irmscher metal upper grill, and sri lower grilles (will get better pics tomorrow




I have some Imrscher sportstars on order from Irmscher UK but they arent in stock so will be about 2 weeks, shame as they should of been on before I collected it

To my suprise the 1.4 twinport is very nippy (no vxr though) on a good note £100 a year tax and cheaper ins which will help with the house, dont have to pay for house til Jan so may do some more mods, if I do will be rear bumper and Imrscher splitter

Nice car but it must be a step down from the VXR Bet you wish you'd never sold your old corsa now.

Unfortunately thats one of the downsides of getting on the property ladder...

You will work your way up again...

Like the ideas you have for the car anyway

The old corsa is miles off, never just the light.

New one looks miles off as well.

Why is it just the front bumper?
In 2 totally different lighting situations.

It might very well just be in the pictures but doesn't look like it.

There is a common fault on the Vectra C range where by the front bumpers are a different shade to the rest of the car. Heard a couple of excuses from Vauxhall including paint reacting differently to the plastic bumpers than it does on metal, bumpers being painted in a different factory, being painted in different temperatures, etc...

Silver cars are terrible in pictures, the slightest shadow in the background or difference in light and it makes the car look totally different.

FFS people silver cars are hard to take photo's of as any slight differnece in angle that the light hits the panel then the shade appears different!!

All the arches on my car looked a different colour because the light hit them at a different angle.

See it in the flesh it looks fine, now everyon leave the poor dude alone, hes just had to sell his vxr for a corsa
