Totally? Gosh, I would hate to think really.. 
 
I have been very lucky and have always had some special prices from dealers / shops etc.. 
 
But never really worked out.. 
 
Interior was reasonable compared to other quotes and the work is outstanding... 
 
Also the quality of the leather hide is unmatched!! Grade A german leather... not ya cheap £500 retrim from imported singapore hides... 
 
Proper alcantara too

Oh and think im nearlyish done now! 
 
I WILL YES I WILL   finish the stereo somtime this year and towards the end of the year start doing a few bits to the engine, 
 
After speaking to regal and courtny at the show they both advised me against the Dbilas turbo kit... 
 
I think I am just going to go for 
 
Dbilas Inlet system 
Dbilas cams 
Dbilas remap 
Dbilas air instake 
Lexmaul Exhuast manifold 
Bastuck centre section 
 
That should see me to around 170-175bhp I should think... That will be plenty for the car without pushing the engine to hard... 
 
I would be worried with the turbo kit on reliability

PainZ, 
 
I was thinking about getting the Dbilas upgrade for my Corsa 1.8. Its about £2,000 for the full upgrade isn't it ? 
 
What sort of performance increases do you think you would see ?

Thanks, 
 
What sort of effect would it have on torque, would you see much of an increase ? 
 
How do you think it would affect 0 - 60 times etc ? 
 
Sorry for all the questions. 
 
Love your car BTW.

My friends dad has an arden blue GSi which he is going to be selling soon.. I could be tempted into that... Not sure.. 
 
Insurance would be quie a bit mind i expect..

Cool, i don't blame u really LOL 
 
Alot of ppl seem to be selling them as an upgrade to the VXR, Is a top car but depreciation is too much for me to spend £19k on one. 
 
Anyway when is the install going in mate?

Install is gone to the back step... 
 
I havent spent much time on it recently and I have (as you can see) spent money on other things..
