Nope...could go Stage 3 (FMIC) but can't justify the extra £1000 for not much performance gain and tbh its too damn quick as it is anyway!

Apart from a few asthetical mods like blue Samco hoses etc nothing else planned.

Looks very tidy and quick to boot!

One thing I don't get though, why do people take of the Vauxhall badge and leave the VXR one on? Looks akward IMO, is it a show-off thing?

(don't mean to sound rude!)

I did it because I think it smooths out the back end.

I did it on my CDTI 150 previously too.

Very nice indeed, that's some very impressive Torque figures you've got there.

Looks miles better without the badge.

Nice car.

Love these cars, check my garage. However i am another one who thinks debadging is awful. Think it looks silly without the big VX badge.

nice car though, was very close to getting the arden blue with the 19's myself, however MPG had to prevail.
