Dbilas Bodies for 16v
Has anyone in the UK fitted one to a VTS/GTi?
Seems to be a few floating around Europe, but i dont think i have seen any UK ones.
Seems cool that they come with the smart looking air box but i think they retail at about 1450 Euros. When/if the exchange rate gets better for us, they may work out cheaper than some others available.
Apparently they just bolt straight on, come will all the pipes for fuel and the odd sensor
They look pretty smart aswell.

dbilas inlets work wonders on vauxhall engines, id imagine this tb setup to be equally as good. im probably wrong though!

they work very well on vaux engines, although vauxhalls tend to have shit inlet manifolds.
