No they don't.
And certainly not on the 120 like you have.
I would just leave it mostly standard, and i wouldn't spray the wheels black either. Will look crap with those 16s sprayed black.

tbf, it would take a fuckload of ££ to have one of these butcher a VXR (this is 120hp and a VXR is 237hp). A remap isn't going to give you 118hp 
BUT - that's not to say a derv can't beat a vxr. Spend £1000 or so and you'd be up there with one. Just gotta hope the VXR doesn't have a £300 remap running 280+hp

Tbh, a 150 with a map will hold its own against a standard VXR once on the go. The torque figure goes sky high on the 150 after a good remap.

Meh. End of the day this isnt what I bought it for. If I wanted a VXR I would have bought one or at least something quicker.

At the end of the day if you like it that's all that matters. I'd rather this than a saxo to be honest.
