I phoned up for more info on the Essess kit. They said it costs £4K for the whole package, this includes the body kit, the bigger wheels, bigger brakes, uprated suspension, a better map on the engine and bigger turbo. This all adds up to 180Bhp from the 1.4T.

I then asked how i go about getting this package and what you have to do is order a normal sporting i think he said then advise that you want the whole package for the car, this is available when you order the car.

Just thought i would share thats all. Very interested at the mo. I am sure there is things out there at the mo to make 200Bhp

Fuck that think what you can buy for that money, plus its a fiat so it will break in a month
plus being a 1.4 no matter how much power it produces its still going to strugglre for torque.
Nice lloking car though, you find out how long it takes the dealer to add the package?

When you order the car i assume, you ask for the package/kit, thats the impression he gave me. Melissa's dad has the 1.4T sporting bought brand new 57 plate and he has had no problems with and he drives it hard. Pulls nice as well on the motorway.

The kit, those are the pictures of the concept car. It was on fifth gear, and it looked quite a bit different to that, not quite as lairy.

i would of thought it will have very bad mpg. so if your going to be using it daily then have fun with the petrol, if you want somethin with the same sort of figures. i would go for a pd tdi 130, an get a remap to 180, thats what im going to do for my next car i thinks.
