Any mod will void your warranty for the vehicle component that is affected i.e. if you fit coilovers and you break a CV joint, they won't cover it. If you fit coilovers and your engine blows up, that will still be covered.

are you any good at DIY stuff ? its not that hard to bolt on an exhaust, up-pipe & install a walbro, you could save yourself some bucks there, then just drive down to asg & get a verso tune

just my personal opinion, I like to know how my car works and enjoy saving money on DIY

if money is no option, just go for it with you're selected workshop

I personally think a full replacement ECU is a waste of time at that level of mods. The exhaust choice is up to you, the quality difference between a china ebay exhaust / xforce that is designed for a US market (LHD) versus a locally built quality item is big, but the price tag is too. You won't get the issues associated with a china exahust, bad fitment, hit the steering column etc but its nearly triple the price! You get what you pay for. As ballsac has said, the pump is also probably overkill

Don't go a cannon if you want any chance of avoiding cop attention. Especially if you are going to join in a few cruises. By all means 3 inch all the way through and get a great sound but keep it to a reasonable level. Same performance less hassles.

If you attract to much attention you will end up hating you car for all the headaches it gives you.

If you like the service given at RMS, i'd suggest sticking to what they recommend.

Have you tried asking other workshops on their recommendations?
