my car goes in for its 20k service next week and i am hoping that the turbo spoiler and front splitters will have arrived to be fitted to my car! about £400 fitted! anyone else out there had this done yet?

[PaulCP]

Did you decide on yellow or black for the spoiler?? Paul

[Ricky2772]

I got the front splitters, passed on the obscenely-priced (and tacky IMO) rear lip...so far did not feel the need for it, at least up to 200km/h ...and, not planning to experience cornering any faster than that....

[minime]

i am having black!

Are they the standard from and rear vaux turbo spoilers.... I thought the price to buy was about £200. + fitting/paint. Are you having the rear painted black or are you having it fitted straight out of the box? I got quoted about £450 all in today probably from the same dealer.. fitting cost seems a little high if the parts cost approx £200, as the guy in the workshop told me it was a straight forward job. Still very interested though.... any chance of having a look at the finished.. Im only a couple of miles from the garage. Dave

that I'd like to see.....would be v.interested even if it's £400+ Being an absolute mechanical novice...I assume having the splitter & rear wing will not have any adverse effect on the aerodynamics of the N/A? What about the enlarged side intakes...are these available for the N/A?

Minime let some crazy Italian FIA GT driver loose in his car at Donny last night!! What was quite interesting, was when he came back he commented on the understeer, but also on the lightness on the backend..... It was also pointed out by the Vauxy guy, the VXTsprint also has a slightly thicker rear spoiler that the VXT

AH-AH! I was right then....

....when Stu posted the first sprint piccies, I commented that the rear spoiler looked bigger, but nobody replied....

that is the least he coud say, if steve is still running stock camber!!!

I've got the chin spoilers on order from Picador although they seem to be having difficulty getting them Just given them a ring to see if there's any news...awaiting their return call.

those must be all shipped to mainland europe I guess, since all the german owners are installing'em, and I got'em delivered next day!

[TangoAlpha]

Further to my last post...seems that Vauxhall have got them now, just waiting for them to be delivered to Picador

Hmmm, dont know - thought they were standard - looked like he might be needing some new ones soon though

[HF_Evolution]

Hi chaps, have any of your seen the steinmez funster??? Im on the look out for a spoiler like that to fit on my VXT, after i have the engine mods sorted by the Vaux top tuners courtney, I hyave just passed the 3000 miles marker, so it will be done in the next 2 weeks keep you posted. ANY1 GOT ANY INFO ON GETTING 18 19 20 WHEELS FITTED, ???? cheers

[Jase_MK]

minime, I like it! Front splitters are barely noticable IMO but the rear spoiler in black looks good on the yellow. Now you need to whip those badges off the rear and get them done in black like the sprint - that will look the b******s. Nice small vauxhall griffin on the bonnet (ferrari style) instead of in the grill looks good too (in black of course).

Steve Looking forward to seing it in the flesh at silverstone. Always thought black spoiler would look good & saves colour matching Paul
