Someone mentioned this somewhere, and got me curious. Is the VXR8 rear diffuser different than the HSV GTS? The VXR8 seems to have an additional "racing inspired?" light in the center of the diffuser:

Anyone know more on this??
As a huge fan of Formula 1, I like the look of it!

I believe it's a legal requirement to have a rear "rain/fog" light on UK cars.
I haven't seen a VXR8 in person to know if the rear bar is made any differently to a normal GTS/Clubsport bar.

SV-6 Spoiler (very similar to the SS-V spoiler only it's not as tall as SS-V), I don't even know if they're still available as most people just use the SS-V on VE Holden sedans.

The UK does have some odd requirements for vehicle lighting. I was on a forum with a guy from SA that exported a G6 to the UK.

The pics are labelled and the badges on those cars can be read, see if you can work it out.

Will that spoiler affect 1/4 ET's significantly? Anyone done any runs before and after?

Holy Threadjack Batman!
How did my thread about the VXR8 Rear Diffuser become a thread about spoilers?

Chocolate: Would you please use the NEW THREAD button next time you want to ask about something completely different than what is in an existing thread? Thanks in advance!

HSV GTS white ride with the white and black wing looks really good to me. I like the contrast in colors it seems to give it that little something extra. If I end up with a white one, I am going to steal this idea. - Lance
