Hey guys - finally got my car back this weekend.
Was in Bexleys getting remapped, some engine work, and having the XSP 6 branch fitted.
had the standard exhaust on it - didnt like it much after the remus - too quiet!
Sal had a prototype exhaust which he said i could try out - we agreed a price - fitted it and..... WOW - what a noise! (Thanks for ALL your help Sal)
I'll let him give the details of it later! - All i can say is that its quiet when you are cruising - and gives the right noise when you want! (coupled with the 6 branch and induction kit!)
Today, i fitted the resprayed lower valance and spoiler less boot lid (thanks zaust for lid - and Dips for spraying) and the car looks 100 times better.
Fitted a map light mirror and also added the mhw smoked lights which i had been waiting to put on when the spoiler was removed (been waiting a year!!) and the results are fantastic. Smoked lights look the danglies on a sebring car!!

Exhaust we fitted sounds really nice.
Not too loud and makes al the right noises.
Will be available soon hopefully. This particular one didn't fit so well without some brute force with a hammer.
Car now coming along quite nicely!

I've got MHW rears about to go on a Silver/Grey car and I have bought smoked front indicators and side repeaters.
On your colour and to match the MHWs I would choose smoked.

hmmm, 230 on a pair of smoked rear lights, or 235 on a remote brake servo.
I know my decision, and it will stop me ploughing into a wall
CHeers tho Maxfield
