Author: Chris Barker
Published: 04 September 2008
Drawing its inspiration from Vauxhall’s British Touring Car Championship team vehicles, the griffin-badged car manufacturer has just launched a new VXR styling package specifically targeting the Astra TwinTop coupe-cabriolet owner.The all-new body mouldings will go a long way to appease Vauxhall’s motorsport fans on the look out for some BTCC flavouring, as it’s got VXR high performance tuning arm tinkering written all over it.A deep front spoiler, accentuated side sills, subtle rear spoiler and lower skirt gives the new Vauxhall Astra TwinTop a comprehensive VXR stance and overall aggressive presence to boot. This new aesthetic enhancement pack joins similar VXR kits custom made for the likes of Vauxhall’s Corsa, Tigra, Meriva, Zafira and Vectra models, with all accessory packs setting the buyer back £1,399.
The rear spoiler can be supplied and fitted on its own for £299, and all prices include fitting and painting to body colour.The accessorizing fun doesn’t stop there though, as all Vauxhall owners can mix and match from a range of exterior and interior fixtures and fittings to enable their car to stand out from the crowd. Be that sports exhausts, stainless steel pedals or alloy wheels to name but three.All VXR accessories are available at Vauxhall retailers throughout the country.
