I've decided against. Went out with doggie yesterday afternoon and found that, for the conditions available to me, my astra has sufficient power. It gets along the road quite well and, although an extra 40bhp sounds appealing, where would I use it?  :-\

Same with our Tourer, it has more than enough power given cameras/traffic etc.

Could you be tempted by an 'economy tune' remap.....Mr Tunnie? ::)

It may be more your bag. ;)

Then there's the elephant in the room....your insurance.

Yes. But you're an old rogue and I'm a law abiding citizen.  ::)

Insurance companies will interrogate the ECU in event of a total loss if a vehicle value payout warrants it
they do anything not to pay out  ::)
freeze frame data will give speed even on a standard modern car

Presumably your last act as you climb out of the wreckage is to revert the ECU to factory settings while you wait for the ambulance.

Would the insurance company really interrogate the ECU if the car looked standard, you had no traffic offences and you were a Lord?

You obviously have no idea of the lengths insurance companies will go to to save paying out the £76.50 for a totalled omega.
