30bhp on a 1.2!
You will be looking at silly money!
To be honest, your not going to get any gains, like 10bhp without spending lumps of cash.
A cat back exaust and air filter might get you an extra 5bhp for about £400
Best advice: Save and get a larger engine

Is it not the 3 cylinder engine aswell?
I would also save my cash for a while to get a faster car. I also had a 1.2 for three lonnnnnng years before i got my gti, was too young (insurance) and too dear to afford one!
Worth the wait tho!!!!
Spend some money styling it tho???

its costing £270 which is quite cheap for the average remap, but then again it wil only give me around 8hp where as other cars will pay around £450 and gain about 50hp so i guess it is quite expensive, but i dont want to get rid of my car, i have spent loads on it and to be honest, i cnt reli afford a new car at the moment

Personally I would keep ur money mate and look into buying somethin else. 8bhp for 270 is a lot of money!
