Hey Mark, the original prodrive pack comes with a prodrive map and prodrive cats. By the sounds of it your cats have been removed but the map remains prodrive. Yes this would cause problems. Check with the seller, has the map been tweeked since the fitting of the decat?
if you buy the car, give Thwaites a bell and he will check/remap the car

Wheels, back box, flaps and a decent head unit is the short term plan.
Did you do your headlights yourself ? If so i'd love mine doing
Then splitter and some carbon bits mid term. Long term is to knock and exceed the 400 door with similar trq

i did yes ,done bout 5 sets now,but had brain wave to do these satin black inside,looks nice but alot of hassle ,if you do them and paint the insides ,leave them a full week before you fit them back together as the vapour in the paint can mark the lens inside when sealed,dont ask lol new lens later lol.
me personally keep the vf35,decat,standard top mount,pump jgm remap etc keep a nice fast usable road car and spend your money on some pro drive lowering springs with 22mm arb and some nice groved discs and pads ,makes great fast road set up with usable power...just a thought i have the above just vf34 will take you a spin and see what you think
