I like the way it was almost £1900 to start off with, so we should be happy with a bargain  :signLOL:
It doesn't even mention what the performance gains are????   :confused:

They also do a kit for the Gallardo.  Nearly 4 grand!  Pipercross's version is about 200!

Now if that kit had a VWR logo?! :grin:

Its actually a shame because Alex did a great job of mine and the kit is great too.

Alex certainly knows what he is doing.

The hierachy like to penny pinch thats the problem.

If I get a confirmation on my problems ill spill the beans but not until then.

Back on topic thats a rip off.

Penny pinch?, how is that (£200 pc of carbon scoop) priced at 2200 or 1400+ discounted, did they choose price by throwing darts at a board with random prices stuck on it?
