Looks gash. The white one in the advert looks smart although the spoiler they stuck on them looks wank. Although I'm sure I'd learn to live with it if my car was a 160 bhp vts

I quite liked the spoiler. lol

They must be slightly faster than a standard VTS though?

Maybe not 40bhp more, but just a little bit?

+1, without any proof always take claimed power figures with a pinch of salt.

And yes, LAD have been known to be quite optimistic with their claims.
