Nope, It was Barry that had it without the etching.

Mine are STW trims but instead of the usual 1.5mm wall thickness of the trim, they are made in 3mm thick. Looks great and I just can't wait to get it on there now 8)

(Quite surprised it all fits in the boot tbh, Didn't look like it would.)
everyone has their council side..

3mm makes a difference tho! Looks heavy duty..

I heard a rumour that if I push the far right pedal down harder, the car goes quicker? :?


In seriousness, I'm not the most lairy of drivers but I kinda think you are right. The drive back from Ants is gonna be a noisy one :D

Dan, The 3mm bit makes all the difference, Well so I'm told.

Cheek of it Dan, I'll have you know those platform shoes worked a treat!

Bit sketchy in the wind though, I did have a 2ft lift on them :D

If you guys think scorpions are loud had a Supersprint race system on my M3, no centre box just 70mm all the way through.
Was too load though and as i found out later not road legal :D

Nice Dave i noticed the thicker pipes also. I like both, that system won't be very loud or sound very hollow.

They only get really loud after alot of miles and hollow once the baffles die in the centre box, this is when scorp noise appears and the party starts!

Cheers guys. I'm really happy with the way it looks.

Si, Does that mean I actually have to drive it to make it sound better? but it will get dirty and everything! :o
