I'll put a history together in a series of posts (hopefully)

Collected me car in March last year Brand new:

Before the car was delivered I picked up a grill, matset, and Door pins:

Then I colours me calipers, Irmy Grille, and Fitted Colour Coded Mud flaps:

Fitted me sat nav, Parrot phone kit, and Irmscher Carbon Door pillers. By this time I had fitted a sabre tamper proof aeriel:

Then it was Chrome Handles, And a front splitter. At some point I changed the fog lights to Signum chrome lights too.

And finally some general snaps:

well put together mate,and tasteful mods too, i like it, a lot of peeps doing vauxhalls proud these days.

Whats that black box on the top of ur spoiler? GPS aerial?

Correct. Its removeable and the other end pops out at the Ashtray. The Navman sits there well and can also be removed leaving no sign of a sat nav in the car.

Not even a ring mark on the windscreen

Tis sweet that man, good to see a cleanly modified Vectra, I love that Mk's looks at standard, your's is even better!

Very nice

Gold star for using the upload feature

Wow thats one nice clean Vectra, its very nice. Goes well with that irmscher grille aswel.

3-4 hours to clean and wax the exterior mate!

lovely, front splitter and grill make the front end,

keep up the good work

Looks pretty angry from the front! V impressed

Thanks all,

I had a job interview this week in Luton..

On the way home I called in the Vauxhall Performance Centre or 888 centre near Silverstone. This is where the touring cars are built. I'm getting the 120 brake engine modified to 170 brake. It should be done in a fortnight AND it doesn't invalidate the Vauxhall Warranty!

I had the 888 remap done recently...what difference. Now I need someone to play with.....

It's somthing to stand looking at ya car getting tunned next to this seasons BTCC cars.

Must go well.

My brother in law to be has the turbo one goes verywell its een 160 on a private runway of course.

I would n't dream of taking on a V6 Turbo. They're pretty awesome. However my 0-60 has gone from 11 to 8 secs. Not too Impressive till you consider the size, weight and aerodynamics of the lump.

Some amazing pics there dude.

Love the ones in the fog and the closeups of the front end.

Very smart motor.

Whats next on the list?

Keep up the good work.

Thanks...

Next jobs...

Vaux gradually reduced the spec of the car over the years so i'm adding parts not used for later models. For example, I have no rear Interior Light, and no Electric Rear Windows etc.

On the Exteior I'm toying with some Carbon Fibre Mirrors, a Carbon fibre front skirt, a VXR rear Spoiler, Dual exhaust.

I'm also thinking of altering the fog light mounts again.

Its interesting reading back to see what I have and have not done.....Anyway had a busy week. After me front spoiler was nicked from Bromborough I went for some retail therepy....

VXR 19" Rims
VXR Rear spoiler,sills adn bumper skirt
Colour coded Foglights

Wow the second photo looks awsome man, the new rims work perfectly with the sytle of the car! It looks so sleek!

as matty said, looks great mate... shame about thieving jealous Grrrs - still, kept ur head up and well worth it... u got any lowering in mind? to me there seems to be a fair sized emptiness in the arches... the wheels are pletyful in size from the visual aspect so for me, lowering would be the way forward... even an inch would make a huge difference

Cheers Matty/Dave. I gather you guys meet on Thursdays in New Brighton....I Nearly brought it down last night but it wasn't quite finished.

All the parts are Vectra parts which makesthe difference. My Sri is now 80% VXR



I've just spent £2500 on this change so I'm gonna wait. A few mates have told me to lower it 30-40 mm. If I do then its back to the BTCC peeps as they havea special set up for diesel vectras. But it aint cheap.

I want to finish the from end off again. Either another irmscher spoiler of a lexmaul bumper.

Thats the beauty of a 888 remap and a diesel. 170 BHP and 57 MPG!

Got the front end finished again.....


......





Then went and did this in Manchester Airports T3 Carpark:

Entering did the rear:






Leaving did the front:

ouch

how did that happen?

I was late for me flight so when I left the ticket barrier at the entrance to T3 Short stay Car Park I clipped the kerb with the rear. Thankfully the Rim Protection on the Tyre has Taken the Hit and the Rim is OK.

Then when I flew back in that night I was right up close to the ticket machine and still clipped the kerb on the passenger side trashing the Front wheel. A few members on another forum say They've done the same thing at the same spot. However I couldn't prove the Airports design was at fault.

A Mate with an IS3 Signum (only one in the UK) asked me to do a photoshoot...We went to Newbrighton...Some results:

quality shots, that last pic is v kool with the sky in the bg hehe

great stuff.

last pic looks like an official advertisement for them

Cheers guys, They're for the 2008 club Calender
