Very happy with this, such a subtle mod but looks so much better especially on the Carbon Flash colour paint.

Next modification to come is the rear windows are going to be tinted in Limo Black (5%) getting them done tomorrow between 5-7pm at MonsterWraps in Southampton, will post pics and progress of the tinting

Comments, Ideas, Likes & Slates welcome. Don't be too harsh though

Congrats on passing your test

Car looks good, mods sound good the front grills on these look so good not sure why vauxhall didn't do this to all cars

Isn't it factory tinted to quite dark already though? Limo tints on a black car will look stunning I reckon! I love the black edition, everyone is always hating on the wheels but I personally love em!

Not a fan of rear debadge myself but it looks good

Thanks man, feels sooo good to drive on my own!

I agree with you about the grill! I think it looks so much better than the standard chrome grill

Thanks for your interest, keep it coming

Your right there is some tint it but hardly dark I'd say between 50-35% hence going for the 5% really black it out I think it will look awesome!

Same opinion there on the alloys, at first I thought I didn't like them preferred the all black LE alloys but turns out they've grown on me and I really like them now!

It isn't to everyone's taste, de-badging, but personally I really like it

Yes will be de-wipering it soon, against my girlfriends grace's lol. She thinks it's impractical, and stupid for me to do it. Says "only reason i'm doing it is because it looks cool" well yeah! lol :thumbs:

 

[Derplayer13]

Should get the VXR mats in this week or beginning of next week hopefully, car doesn't come with mats as standard so it's getting filthy!

 

[DavidCDTI]

If you are dewipering the rear may I suggest you look up a product called gtechniq g1 you will find videos etc on YouTube

Ok I'll look it up. What kind of product is it? Cheers for the advice

I think it does look a lot better when de-Wipered, gives it that even smoother look I'm still going to do it
