Missed MQ's post; buy an Opel grille; the blitz on a plain black grille makes any GM car instantly far classier than that stupid V device.

Dave who came to the Ring was saying that while most people here want the GM Speedster badges, the rest of Europe want the VX ones which we have

I like these, but i deemed the vx220 un-practical.

I seriously, seriously considered selling the S and getting a VXT.

Your right you can spend about 1.5k for a 25-30 bhp increase, as i looked at tuning too.

Maybe on the S2000, but not for the VX.

Red stuff are too hard for a car this light, especially if it's for mainly road use, so I'd disagree, Red Stuff on a VX are more suited to the track. But then I wouldn't bother with EBC products at all.

My Elise came with brand new Green Stuff pads - straight in the bin and fitted Pagids - world of difference both in feel and performance.

Good choice to replace an S2000 with, the VXT. especially at the price they seem to be these days.

Like it.

You have put it into words what I have just realised that I don't like about them, the 'crappy Vauxhall V at the front'. Interested to hear suggestions of what to do about that.
Heres a way to banish the V......................




Involves cutting out the V I think, quite an easy process as my brother did it himself.

"There's no snow on Beverly Road" that's how my flatmate up North taught me to speak Hull.
