Im in the need of a new rear section of my exhaust on my chrome bumper 320.
Any suggestions of where to get one from or if any one has anything for sale.
Im in the Dudley area (west midlands)
Only problem is im short of cash at the moment but need to sort it soon before i go deaf.
Thanks for any help.

It might be worth trying on of your loal tyres/exhust place.

Not Kwik Fit. Try the the one at the bottom of Netherton High Street. Or the guys down Shaw Road just after the island where the statue of the man has always got a cone on his head by Peartree Lane.

I'm putting all this because it says your from Wordsley. I hope it's the Wordsley by Stourbridge..... :mad:

That's cool Lee.

Not done much on mine. But really only need a tyre and some tax.

I can run it then and do jobs on it at the same time.

Not a hard job in itself to do the back springs because they're seperate from the shocks. But I wouldn't fancy doing it on the drive in this weather.bbbbrrrrrrrrrrr
