noone buys a VXR8 for looks. i'd go as far as to say you really need not to care.

i meant drl's.

audi chav led things.


have you got yours yet?
In that case I'm glad they are not fitted on ours.

Never noticed them on Volvo's, which I suppose means that they've made a decent job of installing them, the Audi ones just look aftermarket.

I should get home on Thursday so I've a flight booked to Luton for Friday morning, all going well I should have it home by Friday evening.

I don't think that the estate version looks that bad at all, in fact I'd go as far as saying it is the best looking of all the newly styled models.
I agree, I quite like the estate version, I gather that this model not available in Uk? Good replacement for my honda jazz as family saloon

i think the torque of the 320kw will be much greater than the 317kw like what i got.this is so it is more powerfull than the ford.

the ls3 on mine is detuned so as not to destroy the transmission.so i have heard.


500 vxr8's are being dumped on the uk in feb.they should have the tremec 6060 gearbox which is better.

the t 56 is used in the viper,db7,vanquish,corvette,firebird,prius....etc. so cant be that bad?

Volvo have been doing them since before the 850 but it was never with LEDs.

My business partner drives a 330d touring and has been telling me that I'm living up to my Audi driver name with the LEDs but in truth I just think he's disappointed that my car gives his quite a spanking
