Saw one of these yesterday infact.. they stand out soo much and look immense!
Take it all the black ones come with the orange side decals? or is that an optional extra?
Edit - No they dont

as Walkinshaw are approved Vauxhall tuning company it doesnt void warranty
so within the next couple of months i will have ECU remap, BMC filter and "super v8" exhaust.. releases around 50bhp and makes it sound like it should
then save up for a long while and get the supercharger on it.. is capable with stock internals of 650bhp
anything more than that needs forged internals and stuff which would mean mega money
will be fine on the semi stock 460bhp when i get it over to Walkinshaw

Probably about 500 miles for other components such as brakes, gearbox and suspension, but the engines normally come run in these days.
