With the Type R up for sale i got the chance of this.
My mates owned it for 3 years and took it from being standard under the bonnet to running 170bhp.
Koni Suspension.
Front Mount, Hardpiped with silicone elbows & crossover.
Decat & Exhaust system.
Seb 2 Chip.
Lockable MBC.
All set-up on a rolling road by local tuner.
169.9 @ 1 bar, was making 190 @ 1.2 bar, but at the time the clutch was slipping, although has now been replaced.

I've known the car for years, known the last 4 owners but it was standard under the bonnet until he got it.

I've looked at getting one loads of times! Really like them but then talk myself out of it, bought a fiat coupe 20v turbo last time I was thinking about buying a punto gt.

I've only ever seen one that I know was a GT on the road.
Someone on my road had a slammed white one.
