Still if it was £1200 the engine would cost around that along so you would be pushing yur luck even a mates rates.
If you get everything that cheap that's fair play, can't understand why your not already doing it in that case

that is more than i paid for the car!
but to answer the question
>inlet and exhuast manifold followed by a tuning session
>new window motors (too slow)
>consider some different seats, something more supportive but still has headrest speakers
> replace what i suspect are very worn factory fitted Bilsteins after 86k miles....thats about it really...nothing very radical or unexpected!

He paints high end stuff so I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.
