Cheers Mate, santa came early this year!!!!!!!!!

Looks great, I prefer that to a facelift cos I hate the huge grille on those, and I think the interior on the pre-facelifts is much better too. The thing I don't like on the pre-facelifts is the horrible rough black stripe on the top of the bumpers and on the doors, with yours being colour-coded it looks much better.

BTW Did you remove a standard exhaust back box to fit the Irmscher one? If yes and you still have it, would you be interested in selling it (assuming it's in decent nick)? I'm looking for cheap genuine VX exhaust parts to replace the noisy cheapo aftermarket junk fitted to mine.

Hello, Unfortunetly not, I changed the exhaust last year and the old one was on it's way out anyway, I have a vauxhall trade card which gives you big discount at vauxhalls dealers.

Cool mate, no worries. What's the going rate for a 3.0 saloon backbox (twin pipes) on TC these days? I might just give in and buy that one brand new, and fit it with the crappy centre sections to see whether it makes a noticeable difference - especially since that's the only part you can see and it looks better than the crap currently fitted!

i cant remember if you have tc Paul - if not we do out west so dont buy without it  

[Del Boy]

Well here she is, this is the only photo that I've taken. I took the car straight to the window tinter's and when I got out is was dark, I'II post more picture's tomorrow when I've fitted the new badges etc, Note the facelift mirrors.

Looks truly stunning

I don't mate, Mark kindly let me borrow his a while back when I needed to replace the brakes (don't think anyone up this way had it at that time) so cheers for the offer. I think I'm going to prioritise on getting the cam covers and HBV replaced (hopefully curing a slight coolant leak), then new plugs & leads. After that lot's done I may finally get round to sorting this zorst, I'll be in touch for the TC details

do the facelift side rubstrips go straight onto the prefacelift?

Hello,
The facelift colour coded door mouldings have to be fitted using an adesive of some sort, as the holes for fixing them are not on pre-facelift doors but they fit with no problems
