So i've been in contact with TRW and their UK distributor to source some of these valves. I've got all the codes and sent them off for a price figure and enquired about a group buy on these also.
In Valve 537141 £5.97 each + Vat
Ex Valve 537148 £9.90 each +Vat
Carriage £7.95 or P&P £3.95
If anyone else is interested, have a look here at the TRW page for some more info on these bad boiiii's:

Same procedure, get ya'name down if you're interested.

Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section; Also, any member from GTI/306club feel free to advertise over there, i'm not a member and im pretty tight when it comes to paying for 'online chat', but it could help some people out

They won't fit xsi/1.8. Gti valves are huge in comparison.
Are they one piece valves?

so thats ~£170 all in. give or take,. did the math, just forgot it, cba to do it again.
when do you expect this'll go ahead?
also, what would the specific upgrades of the set's you'd order have?
like, single/bimetallic, hard faced or not, what metal would they be made from, lighter/harder/stronger (faster)?
just wondering what you're thinking
