Absolutely epic purchase!
You must be the only person in history to go from a Peugeot 405 straight to one of these.

Little bit of an old vs new comparison.

The black one (for those new members out there) I owned in 2016 and was an auto. I think they both look good but do prefer the red.

 

[Krarl]

Does it have a private plate on it?

VX08 HFG - VXR8?

 

[bill]

reds better

No, came with that plate.

 

[Stay Puft]

Black does look evil!

As said on insta it's no Megane mk3 but it'll do ??‍♂️

 

[Clio_fool]

There used to be a red one local to me, definatly stands out in bright red. Good buy sir ?.

I sense the sarcasm in this comment a mile off ?

Indeed.

 

[william84]

Very nice
big step up from the pug
About the only thing it won't pass is a petrol station I'm guessing ?
Imo black or red one is lovely ?

 

[Matt Cup]

Any interior shots?

 

[leeds_182]

Gave the car a bit of a polish today and it came up quite nicely.

Also, the cars got the vxr8 common problem of misting on the rear lights so removed it to try and get it dried out.

 

[adamlstr]

Hero.

Needs a full exhaust and a terribly mapped idle to win completely.

 

[Waitey]

Like.

I got properly bummed by one in the RS3. It was deffo supercharged, screamed like hell!

 

[leeds_182]

Removed the Vauxhall’s lettering from the back so I can pretend it’s not a Vauxhall even easier now. I could go full gay and buy the full Holden badge set from walkinshaw.

 

[Rojer]

Defo get the Holden badges or start treating yourself to all the Walkinshaw goodies.

Exhaust next I think. I can’t deal with those tail pipes!

 

[Rojer]

They do look a little sad for themselves...You getting some RS style ovals?

Something like these;

 

[Rojer]

Supercharger afterwards and job done I would say.

 

[_Tom]

+1 on the badges.

What were they thinking with 4 pea shooters..

Can't you just chop the rear boxes and change the tips pikey style? Then save the rest for the charger...

 

[Darren S]

Epic purchase.

I bet this is one of the few cars where adding a supercharger can't make you cry any worse over the shite MPGs that you're already getting.

Bad fuel economy is just bad fuel economy!

Yeah, few exhaust places have said to just chop the rear boxes out but I’m a bit worried about the noise!

I can’t find a video to compare as well!

A guy is selling these from oz which would be a bolt on upgrade but not sure they’d be loud enough.

 

[Stefan.]

I'd go oval tips like the picture you uploaded.

Oh and bring your rear reg down abit...

Never noticed that but you’ve got a point.

 

[_Tom]

Keep the middle box. Done. ?

 

[leeds_182]

I must be getting old because that sounds outrageous!

 

[Daz...]

That sounds ridiculously meaty!

Bit much for a daily though, ideally you want a bit of a rumble that only sounds offensive when you want it to.

Your ears don’t fail you. ?

Looking on YouTube it definitely needs a proper system. My god they sound good.

A mate in Kippax makes exhausts Jim if you want one making or yours modifying,
this is one of his

Looks decent. He just do it on the side or is it a full time thing?

I see that @mace¬ 's drawing skills have improved markedly...

 

[Iain C]

Was taken Round a track in one of these. Serious car.
Very nice

Not happy with impersonators setting unrealistic expectations on my work. Legal team have been instructed to shut them down.

He was a fabricator at Ginetta then development engineer, now welds chemical tankers (and exhausts on the side for mates)

 

[leeds_182]

Booked in for the exhaust doing on the 06/08.

Can’t wait!
