What did you do with the standard GSi front seats? They are not GSi in there?
Fair play to him if you Dad wants to mod his car - but personally i think the Vectra GSi is something i just would not play with i think it looks awesome out of the box.

Sorry the EV0 spoiler is gay, it screams "i really want an EVO but i cant afford it".
You will NOT get 230bhp from Courtenays CS15+ package. I had this fitted to my old Gsi and got 196bhp, the superchip map they use is pathetic, i had a massive torque drop off between 4-5krpm. I had to go and have it mapped with a unichip. The unichip dealer did a great job of mapping it but in the end i had 203bhp and that was with a GPA cat back exhaust as well (which isnt part of the CS15+ kit). the engine had only done 56k and was sweet as a nut, just in case you try to blame power output on a fucked engine.
The only worthwhile thing they do is the lightened flywheel.
If you do go ahead with this, i can emphasise enough to get a before and after RR print out so that you can compare standard to modified. I suspect you will then have the evidence to point out to courtenay how really shite they are.*
* This is my own opinion of Courtenay sport, after spending nearly 10k there over the past few years and getting shite results.

^^^ 
my sentiments exactly top colour, engine just needed subtle mods rather than removing the good parts of it 
but each to their own

IMO of course I think he should have left the OE GSi kit on, prefere the leather interiors and think the power you are hoping to get is a no no, especially as the work is being done at Courtneys. SetH had his GSi there and was less than impressed. In my experience they are cock jockeys that have made a business on false power claims. Sorry

I'm sorry if you don't like what I have to say but to be honest tough shit. I said in my opinion. Also nowhere did I say the GSis came with leather interiors although the CDXs did and I much prefere it. Finally I wasn't moaning at you about the power output just informing you of my opinion of Courtneys. I live about 15 mins from them and know how they have been operating for the last 5 years, they make false power claims about their modifications. Fact!
