The Astra H was the first to adorn the now

infamous VXR logo and with 237bhp being
pumped out of the Z20 turbocharged motor
it was more than worthy of Vauxhall’s new
performance badge. Some 15 years on and

but with the help of Nevlock Performance,
the stock performance figures of 152mph

Nevlock stock and sell a whole host of
engine component upgrades for the Astra
VXR, as well as some essential chassis
enhancements too, so we’ve highlighted
some of their most popular parts in this
handy little guide.
