+1 I also like the contrast. I'd also consider getting the kind of diffuser around the exhaust/fog lights/vents, done in a gloss black wrap.

Congrats, it does look good.


Edit > Haha Ben didn't see your post. But yeah also de-chromed is a good shout.

dont normally like any new cars but these are stunning, especially in white. only thing i'd do is take the griffin badge off the rear. otherwise leave it like planned
mint


are they doing a new shape astra vxr?

and

is yours a facelift model or something?, just noticed your boot doesn't have the line down the centre

JedDy - not 100% sure, but as far as i know they made the artic to sell some of the leftover shells. i read that there is ment to be a GTC VXR in the pipelines but no idea on release dates yet

Andy - been saving for around 3 years or so and used a bmw E46 derv during the time, then sold that on for a close price to what i paid for it.
