Sorry Mud-cuncher I didn't see the writing on your post,,, :doh: I was thinking of putting them together over the bonnet but I plan to spray the middle of the bonnet black in the near future to stop the glare from the roof lights (who am I kidding I want to do it cause it looks cool) :lol:

Glad you like it Mike , I wanted somthing a little understated , pointless telling you that as I guess you don't know what that means having a shocking pink car :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup:

ps sold the meteor and rebuilt garage ;)

lee celtic · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2009, 22:07:32 »

Here you go ...... good price and fast delivery , well recomended , I'll be getting another set for the front soon off the same guy. maybe we could try for a club discount :lol: :lol:

as for the exhaust I had this idea (might have been done before) I did this drawing

and turned up a bit of scrap billet at work to make the finisher

came out well , then I just joined the end of the broken exhaust to the finisher with half a mtr of flexi pipe.

looks quite good , the bodywork behind the finisher was a bit scabby so I cut a bit of 2mm stailess to shape using a paper template and bent the the bottom edge at an angle to stiffen it, then just used the finisher to clamp the stainless to the car..
