Hello guys. My name is João and im from Portugal. I've been here for a long time, so i decided i should open a progress thread. Hope you like it as much as i do.

My car is a GTC 1.7 130bhp, still stock. It came with 18" wheels, bluetooth, eletric parking brake and front and back parking sensors.

I bought it new in 2012.

Some mods i've done so far :

- Mtech Short Shifter

- Original SharkFin

- Roof bars painted white

- Original Exaust Tip

- Original 20 inch rims

- Continental SportContact 6 245/35 R20

Mods i plan to do :

- Lowering Springs

- 12mm spacers

- OPC line spoiler

- Remap

- DPF off

- Navi

- OPC Steering Wheel

- OPC Gearstick

Mods i would like do but don't have money to :

- OPC Bumpers

- OPC Sideskirts

- OPC Recaros

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.

Lovely jubbly, very nice modification.

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 !
