i posted this on mig yesterday but in case some people dont visit there then here we go
this is a car based at my works...i had fitted a vxr styling pack to it...we usualy fit them to black ones but this time we thought we would do white....then our mad sales manager decided to have some stripes fitted to it and make it simular to a fiesta ST lol...we have had many mixed reactions to t but it has done what he set out to do...get people talking about it....any thoughts on it would be good to hear
when this sales i think hes planning to stripe up a VXR8...but dont worry...the sripes do come off

going to be really honest and say sales manager needs a slap. would have got a better chance of a sale by kitting it ans fitting the 17" optional wheels

The worrying thing is it will sell looking like that.
Sales managers who get paid to make such decidsions must be shot

you can get a so called vxr styling pack on any of the vauxhall cars with a vxr in the line up....the sales manager has done this a little bit toungue in cheek kinda thing...it was not a serious sales attempt just a thing to get people talking...too many people take it way too serious lol....we are 98% sure the stripes will be taken off for the customer...the salesman in the pic thinks along the same way as most of the views on here hence the stupid pose.....it was done to get people talking and it looks like we have achieved that

Looks shit. Wheels really don't do it any favours either.
That bloke looks like Mr Incredible.

TBH even though it looks horrible. If the fiesta hadnt done this first it may have at least had the originality factor, but now it looks both crap, and a cheap ford fiesta rip off

Because the person selling ti decided to name these parts the VXR styling packs. Plus Irmscher has nothing to do with Vauxhall, Opel or GM for that matter. They are a privately run company.
