They are very bling! You like them though so that's what counts.
If you're after a lifetime exhaust, I can recommend one.

I agree they are bling.
Like I said they have had 2 coats of rimwax which adds to the shine and the lighting in the house makes them stand out more.
Who can you recommend mate?
I will be after one that looks exactly like the original but stainless.
What size is your exhaust Tian?
Booked my car in to be done next friday.
This is what I went for but if you'll obviously have your existing one with you so all you need to do it to ask them to match that one instead.

I went for a slash cut tail pipe when I had my stainless system made. I didn't like just the straight pipe coming out.
Do you have a pic mate?

About 12 o clock she hears the van in the street, looks out the window to see the van driving away and a card in the door to say she missed the delivery
Im annoyed as I need the car for tomorrow and it aint starting.
Phoned GSF and result they had 1 in stock. My father drove there to pick it up to be told they cant find it!!!
Im getting more annoyed now as im stuck in work and cant do anything.
Last resort I phoned euro car parts (who were meant to be delivering the original 1) they had 1 in bristol and they could get it today…… Big sigh of relief.
So my father goes back out to pick the part up and result it had arrived.
Got to the misses house, changed the relays over. (still not 100% sure that it is the relay thats gone) turned the key once to hear the fuel pump prime itself for a second or 2 then stop (this has never happend before).
So fingers crossed I fired it up and……………………
IT LIVES :mrgreen:
So a very happy ending to a frustrating day.
Im off to relax now.

The engine starting would have been a massive sigh of relief :wink:
My monkey car after passing its MOT yesterday with flying colours and me heaping big love on it after work today ( washed and polished ) after a lovely drive for ice cream with my 5 year old son it died at the junction in to my estate :dontknow:
I had to push it over a main road and send mt lad upto get neighbours to help push it up the hill, then after 5 mins it started and I drove it home ??????????????????
No idea what happened but it is annoying and unsettling for future drives

Drove it back to my house tonight praying the exhaust didnt fall off.
Got it booked in for 9am tomorrow morning to have the new system fitted.
I want the old school noise that it made while idling and im hope it can be done without making it to loud while driving.
Dont want it to sound like a boy racers car.

Waited about 2 and half hours for it to be done.
Decided to go for a 2 and half inch rolled tip.
Not the best pics (used my phone)
Hopefully getting my original wheels fitted next tuesday.

What's the growl like… :wink:
Forgot to mention.
I went for mid sport.
You can hear is slightly bubbling on tick over.
Cruising and normal accelerating its as if it aint there (just what I wanted)
Put your foot down and its really nice, loud enough to know its there but not to loud that people think your a boy racer.
Very happy with it.
