Haven't been here for a while, but didn't have much to do today, and remembered you guys :) Thought I'd post some pics up that I took last weekend after I gave the VX a good clean. Didn't get a lot of pics as the light was fading. Might get some more this weekend...



Gave the car a once-over with Meguiars SMR, then some Klasse AIO, followed by SG topped with S100...

Like I said, not many. I'll get some better pics this weekend :)

Looks gorgeous - is that your actual plate? I'd think it was worth more than the car, from what I've read about such things over there.

:eek: Cool car! How about some specs on it, never seen one before.



Paint looks incredible, btw. :)

They don't sell them over here. I believe it has the same underpinnings as the Solstice and the Saturn Sky if I'm not mistaken.



(EDIT: I guess I was mistaken. Can't be perfect.)



The whole car looks great. Good job.

The Opel that will be on the Kappa platform (Solstice/Sky) is the GT.

Thanks for the comments guys :)



Yeah, it's based on the Elise. The replacement model (now that they've ended production) is the Opel GT, which is the Sky-based car. Not really the same though - the VX220 weighs about 900kg, and is fairly basic in terms of comfort, size and equipment. Does shift though! This one has had a remap, and is now pushing around 220bhp and 230lb/ft of torque - gives a power-to-weight somewhere around the 245bhp/tonne mark ....





I'll get some pics of the interior tomorrow as well. :)
