i replied to your pm the nk is a revvy pipe so it depends on what state of tune you want you can go stg5 with these pistons so could be seeing 18bhp but at the cost of fuel and ring life i had a clubman on mine with a bored out to 24mm jetex it was as fast as most 200,s with the same pipe/carb and did about 100 to a tank if your going to a dealer you need them to understand what pipe and carb you are going to use make sure your CLEAR about that its prob a good idea to give them your manifolds as well then the can flow and match these to suit the kit keep us informed as to who you speak to and how it all comes along

The Imola is actually only 150 euros to replate and that includes a new piston, BUT you have to send it to Italy,and turn around is 14 days.

This is a pretty good deal since Langcourt charge repair and replate at £122.50 + Vat and have a 10 day turn around at the moment, I think just replate is £97.50 plus VAT .

i was gonna say that but i had my muggelo done abot 2 yrs ago never again ...................... it took over 3 months and then tino sent the wrong piston, he never answered my emails or my fone calls total frustration !!!!!!!!!!!!!! im not knocking the guy but as others will say his heads in the clouds :)
150E is still £130 plus you need to post it there insured and check that its insured on the way back so still gonna cost £150 rebore and hone plus new oversize piston £65
