Those seats look awesome and the cars is pretty ok too

Very nice motor, get some sound clips up!

You need to do a better job blanking the plates though, I can make out the full registration quite easily. The letters are easy enough to distinguish, and you've told us how old it us which tells people the two numbers as well.

Thumbs up to the V8 :cool:

I like to try to criticise people's purchases at least a little (even just taking the mickey), but I can't find anything to criticise here.

Awesome piece of metal. :cool:

Never seen one of these in the flesh. Im guessing there not sold as Opel's in the EU?

Just been watching Top Gear on Dave where they were throwing it round the track (One with the Japanese drifting guys), looked fun.

epic ! lovin the pics wouldnt mind some more

no pics of the astra ? for comparison?

Has the passenger door been painted, looks different colour which I appreciate might simply been down to the light. Enjoy.

Cristian · 26 Oct 2010 at 21:26

must be a shadow, if you look closely the different colour patch ends before the door handle, no sane person only paints 3/4 of a door.

Good work that man - it looks absolutely pristine!

Always worth being patient and waiting for the perfect example to appear.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll hopefully have some headers and an exhaust fitted come next meet.

Lovely car's.

I'm torn, this is on my short list (subject to extreme change) for my next car, but i think the dials and console look like they're from a Mk 2 Ford Mondeo!

However, in the VXR8 everything is much better. After having a BMW i'm just not sure i could put up with the cheap looking dash. However, part of me is saying that a 6.0l V8 would make me forget and then some, so i'm confused.
