Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
I'm considering, budget depending on fitting VXR bumpers to my 2.0 CDTI. I've got a couple of questions if someone wouldn't mind. I've tried searching but have found no conclusive answers.
Is the front bumper a straight swap? Also are there holes by the fog lights on the VXR bumper, seen some on ebay with holes and wondered if they were VXR bumpers or biturbo or something?
Is it possible to swap the rear bumper? Would I need a new exhaust? Also any further comments or tips?
Spent the day arguing with insurance about a courtesy car (which they will not provide as the car is total loss and Nat caused the accident).
The wife later went to doc's due to bad neck pain who said she had whiplash, insurance won't allow her to claim as "they can't claim the cost back from anybody".
Spent the rest of the day looking at cars as she needed one by today for work, We found a little ford fiesta 1.6TDCI

Hello my name is Jeroen, I live in Belgium and I drive a Astra J 1.7CDTI.
This is my first car and I've had it since october 2012.
I have been doing some modifications since I first got it
I will be posting an overview of what I've done so far when I have collected all the pictures.
Hello, I'm 19, and an Auto Engineering student in Swansea. I've had my Astra GTC 2.0 CDTI for almost a month now, and really loving it! It's my second car, first was my much loved Grande Punto, awful reliability, 77bhp, but I loved it and spent many saturdays detailing it. Wanted something with a bit more punch for my second year driving, so after looking at a few Corsa VXR's and E92 Bimmers, settled on the GTC. I've got a few plans in my head, would love to go for a VXR lookalike, but want to concentrate on buying and setting up my own go kart first. So far I've debadged, led number plate lights and drls, pressed plates, Irmscher plate surrounds and carbon wrapped my front grill. Will get some pics up when I can. Nice to be here and hope to meet up with some of you in the future!
Have damaged the interior door handle on my GTC, only the silver bit. Could anyone provide me the part number please? Its the silver trim showed in this photo. Also. does anyone know the location to a guide showing how to remove it?
