I know modificatin wont be taken lightly by many but if i do take the plunge this car will become a project of mine to make it into something even more special and make it the 250/260 HP it should have been in the first place hmmmmmm

I have to admit to considering it myself. I can fix the few visual issues that I dont like, I'd love to see it pack 240bhp (just right I think) and I'd put my own wheels on it (something like this below) in order to retain the original wheels in mint for resale, I'd like to put a decent set of Brembos on it, and I'd fit the JCW airducts to the false brake ducts. I'd not be afraid to track the car, perhaps even fit a roll cage (although those recaro seats arn't suitable for harnesses - another cok-up in my opinion).

Trouble is we're back into £30k territory and it would only be replacing something I've already got, but just a little more refind.

I'm thinking that the GP will be a sound investment if the new car does not create any kind of stir.
