Correct. However if you've got any sense and do a bit of research you could save yourself a fortune....

And I guesss the fairys that pop out of the cupboards when your backs turned to do all the work dont need paying?
And because they are so small they wouldnt need extra ramps?
And because there are so many fairys they would get them done so fast they wouldnt need extra workshop space?
I doubt courtenays overheads are small! theres a lot more to it thyan renting a workshop!

Keep the prices high, i dont want young boys littering the streets with there XE's, thinking their great and driving around like headless chickens on speed and using the remainders of their cash on huge subs and amps, going 'boom boom boom' around mc donalds! Then eventually wrapping them around the lamp posts!
I see what ya all saying though!

i know of hardly any cars that are modded where i live, especially engine wise, people think they cool if they fit an exhaust trim and eyebrows.
most people never heard of a 2.0 corsa, its like a fairly tale to them

when I first bought my car just under 2 yrs ago I was 1 out of 3 that had the conversion in my area, now theres at least 10 that I know of. As most people have said its a much easier conversion to do now compared to a few yrs ago and the insurance aint as high now either
