would u get one for a 1.2?
what sort of things does this involve doing, what sort of gains would i expect to get, @ 1186euros (£860ish)
alot of money tho. could get the PSG kit for that.

chris... i was going to go the performance route, but i changed my mind because afterall it is a 1.2, i dont think theres any point in it anymore. get your car fully kitted, people will look at it more

well yeah, but you still drive in the day dont you 
get a bodykit... 1.2 with inlet manifold isnt going to be that much faster than other cars is it.
btw... just driving around tonight and thought id like to tell you about an absolute fuckwit of a penis drive around with one of them exhaust led tailpipes on his merc a-class! well funny! it looked so shit!
yours look good!
im getting some soon hopefully

thats what you want.
if you want show, then get the kit.
if you want go then start from the inlet, get more when you get the money.
its is still 1.2 but some one has really tried, that the way i see it...
i think there is already many many cars with the kits, it would be just one more...

okay it might sound very optimistic, but i dont doubt it.
vauxs do have very astmathic inlet manifold, and if you will sacrifice some power from down, i think it comes double on upper revs, mantzel ect. is good example.

dbilas manifold for the 1.2 is shorter, less twisty and has larger internal diameter in the headers, this means that (on paper) it will be a much better alternative to the standard one.
The euro exchange at the mooment is not so hot so it might be better to get it through regal who have them advertised for £810 including free ECU remapping. (£150 fitting not included)
As for the 23ps power claim, I'm not to sure its as high as that but one guy on here bought one on ebay and got a unichip and he managed 18bhp at the wheels over standard. He also said that the low end torque had increased but gains were most noticed @>4000rpm. ("rev's like a drill")
But say if you had it set up by a dbilas distributor (like regal) and you got a 20bhp gain for £810 thats £40/bhp gained
you wont get any better than that anywhere.
There are other parts coming out on the market like cams that will add ~ 10bhp.
110 - 120 bhp could be achieved for about £1100.
