The reasontop gear slated it was because....

1. Clarkson hates Vx
2. They removed the fuse for the traction control
3. They removed the fuse for ESP

Driven by a knob with all the stability programs disabled...What did they think would happen.

Nice buy Jonah! I swapping mine too. Stripped the parts off it yestereday. Sold the grille and Skirts, just the splitter and VXR alloys to sell!

Not really a Vauxhall / Vectra / VXR person, but the flagship of the Vectra range...

wouldnt bother with the spoiler or diff grill as both them area's are sound, would maybe just lower it a lil further than the standard ride hight, 30mm all round, and window tints from the b pillars back - think the rest looks great
