nice clean lines , gearbox needs the Mtec short shifter,standard GTC needs lowering due to wheel arch size.
VXR (OPC) parts are slowly becoming available here in UK through e-bay , but are still expensive .
Car vision do a replacement for the standard info system, basically plug & play.
will watch the progress.

Thank you for all the info mate.. im not going for car vision. Their gps is too expensive for what it can do and i've allready read some bad feedback about their support. Next thing to do is buying some products for cleaning and then will lower it !

Looks awesome mate, nice and shiny.. look forward to the updates and mods.

Simmo.
Thank you mate !

Lovely jubbly, very nice modification.
Thank you my friend !

I like it. But then I'm bias because I have one, 64 in blue. What navi are you installing? The nav I had in my 2011 insignia OE supplied sucked, hence why I wasn't really bothered by not having it in the GTC.
I think im going for an android system.

Hello again. Some fresh news. Onstar antenna with Calearo Fm radio module integrated.
I've bought a cheap Onstar antenna from ebay and painted it to white. The only reason why I changed it was because the first oem antenna I had was too small to fit the calearo module, my radio recepcion was bad and now its working really good.





























Meanwhile eibach pro kit was fitted too. I'm really happy with it for daily drive, it's 30mm lower, confort wasn't compromised and the handling is a bit better.



That's it for now!
