Nice! Have you modified it a bit? Noticed the Opel badges on it? The colour suits it!

am waiting on walkinshaw performance to do some research first and go from there

word is they will be selling aftermarket stuff for the astra but when i dont know and apparently they will be opening a shop in nsw aswell

as of now thay are doing brake/exhaust and shock upgrades for the sri turbo astra but nothing for the hsv

There a write up on the Astra about Walkinshaw Performance creates a smooth
hatch.... MOTOR Mag page 63

[HSV-VXR]

Nice Jay... those pics are enticing me more to get one in Arden Blue .... Just got to sell the SRi Turbo 1st then i will be off to hunt one down.....

You still owe me a ride in your VXR too dont forget.

[mohawk]

yeah shaun i know...

[SirHSV]

Ive seen the Black VXR version very nice also, if I had to choice I would go for the BLUE color but second choice would be BLACK!!!

[mohawk]

yeah black is a great colour... but i knew 3 bad things about it

1. harder for other motorists to spot u over their shoulder at night

2. hard to keep clean

3. scratches stand out more

but recently ive had some scratches of my own when some young kids threw 2 eggs at my car whilst i was driving at 80km/h at night and now ive got paint chips the size of the eggs

[murph_fan51]

Black looks so awesome though! Too hard to resist. My next car will either be black or white. Dont forget the stone chips on the front with black they are quite noticeable. :(
