a statment tonght as some chavs started throwing things at the house. Anyway after gettin in a fight and the police coming round for the statment i asked him about an unresolved corsasport despute. I asked him about police cars and if they are moddified. he said the town cars like the 2.0 astras ect are bog standard ... but the mercs and bemers on the motorways are turboed and have various other mods to make them faster then most!

thats what i did, when there was an hostage down our street, we was not alowed out of the house, so i was talkin to the copper about tints, whether they were illegal, (as there was talk about banning them i heard, last yr) and she just told me that u can have them but certain windows have to b lighter. c cops come in handy at times

They tend to chip and change cams to slightly boost power over standard but thats it
They dont bother with turbos etc, too unreliable

There is a diesel Police Astra round here with a bloody induction kit on it. They have drilled holes in the bumper for the cold air feed so you can see the filter. Bloody chav Police officers.

-heavy-duty brakes and suspension
-larger wheels
-heavy-duty battery and alternator
-police equipment mounting board and wiring harnesses
-special roof pod for mounting blue lights
-ABS and driver/passenger airbags for safety
-close ratio gearbox
-the cars are fitted with the basic level of trim (i.e. no normal radio/CD player or high level trim).
