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. mac |

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.

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 ! Quote:
