Right peeps. I've got an 04 VXT, due for service and some 'fast road' prep. Based in Midlands but happy to travel to the right place. Looking for a thorough service and to drop around a grand on any prep recommended for a few fun days out. Mods are subtle at the moment, primary decat, Larini exhaust, mintex pads etc.... Looking for the following: 1. Where would you recommend for the work? 2. What would you consider 'essential' upgrades for a bit of fast road action?

MMG or Steve G...as Aimy said. Fast road....how's your suspension holding up? Still original? Many miles on the car? That first then maybe a map if money allows.

I'll give MMG a call tomorrow to sound them out. What about Courtenay, are they worth the trip?

MMG,Courtney's and all the above ^^ get very good comments, Personally I'd pick one (one from above)which is closest to you as they all get good comments of here,seems a bit silly to me to travel a long way when there's a few closer to you which get good comments of here :) Wish I had all these options lol

Thanks Aimy, I mentioned Courtenay as I'm in their neck of the woods for a couple of days later this month and it's just as convenient to drop it with them for a couple of days.
