well not really, £110 for a few bits of metal that you have to weld together anyway but it should sell pretty easy once i have used it.

but for me not having to lay on my back for days scraping underseal off, welding the seams, replacing the sill and painting it all = priceless

Isnt it meant to help stiffen up the car aswel? hence why G60's had the same tunnel. May be wrong like   :undecided:

3rd reason is it gives more exhaust clearance for the tall block and looks a lot more oem than a patched in tunnel to an mot tester! plus if I ever go flat floor in the future it will help tuck the exhaust up

but the main reason is it looks cool, obviously
