Can ASC+T be retrofitted?

Does anyone know if ASC+T be retrofitted and how much it cost?

I wasn't aware of the option when I ordered my car or how cheap it was otherwise I woulda had it, if only to fill in my missing toggle switch gap!

have a good time, all the time...

I might just buy a switch from parts to plug the gap..... bet it won't cost 100-notes either

I'm tempted by traction, but have had an Integra Type R and Clio 172, both without and have managed.

Do you really need it on a 100 and something bhp car? If you do I probably only have hours to change my spec

Yes, the ASC+T is quite useful, especially in rain & snow and on gravel. 115HP doesn't sound like much but it is enough to spin the wheels even on dry pavement if you try! My Cooper feels more powerful than 115HP but that said, I could spin the wheels on my 55HP Geo Metro too if I tried really hard!

Apart from the missing toggle switch, I would actually like the function of ASC+T cos I have actually had some close incidents in the rain.

Actually, not long ago I had the window down as I went to overtake a car and I hear the tyres slip as I accelerated and this was in the dry going from about 50mph!
