Hi to all just to let you know that I have just got myself a black MCS 08 plate and love it as I was wanting a smaller car as the kids do not need to sit in the rear on there own seats and the x5 was costing me a small fortune the run and service and wanted a change. as or the mini it is great and will be better by the end of the week as it is going to get remapped and software upgrade done and the guy say it might get 240bhp now that will be fun then it it is going to get the rear window tinted and maybe a strip but I do not know my mate says get I viper done in silver but I would get orange what do you think I should do,,,,hope to hear from you all soon yours david from central scotland

VES are in Station Road, Braco Rob. I've spoken to him just last week about the GP as he's apparently the best programmer in the UK at the moment as most if not all the major tuning companies are using him to write the software for their remaps. I'd not heard of him until recently but when you see the cars he's working on and the results he's getting he comes highly recommended. Also on the plus side for me he's only 20 miles away ..

Yeah for a full diagnostic and upgrade check it's about £100 if you want mapping done it's priced from £350 upwards dependant on the time and mapping that has to be done. Be good to hear how djlow1969 gets on and his thoughts ...
