ATC's... :wub:

With an 7.5" front & 9" rear rim they give massive grip - you seriously could not fit wider rims on a VX without bodywork mods!!!

I meant with the rear? Im struggling and having to try different spacers but its tight and im considering going back to 225. Probably should of stuck with the TD's.

Why such wide rims si? It cos of the available sizes?

With only 205 and 235 you coulda gone 7J and 8J and saved unsprung weight on each corner?

I have 7.5 an 9Js too (225f and 245r) and in hindsight should have got 8.5 rears to save weight :o

A quick update, not had much time to devote to the VX recently, and to be honest ran out of incentive too, but back on it now :)

Been working on a new rear spoiler, adapted from an oem tubby one. Happy with the overall look but unsure of the way the ends of the spoiler blend into the bodywork, needs a bit more work I think.

Definitely feeling the love for refitting the Vauxhall badge though, very retro!

Superb I love it! :wub: Imnotworthy Agree it needs the badge but I reckon a new style one would look nicer. The spoiler edges look quite good, maybe have them flick over the curve of the lights a bit more?

Don't agree about the new badge. To me the original badge should always be used on these cars.
