   There is probably a thread on this but I couldnt see it.
   
   I have a 1.1i Saxo, and I'm having it upgraded to a vts hopefully. Anywhere locally that will do a professional job on this?
   
   I live in the Manchester area. Any help would be much appreciated

   wouldnt the insurance cost more doing that than actually owning a VTS though?

   pm Landy, he'll be able to sort you out, he's based in Yorkshire, not too far away.
   
   Also, look at the "similar threads" at the bottom of this page.

   just buy a vts?
   you get all the bits too - interior, exterior, brakes, suspension, blah, blah...
   surely this makes more sense.

   yeah id just buy a vts its gonna be less hassle and probablies less money as your gonna have to change the rear beam and front struts etc as the 1.1 brakes will be useless with a vts engine in it, much easier to just buy one mate
