Those are some baller dust cap$   :cool: :grin:

Pretty sweet aren't they  :smiley:

good work and i know from experience that the picture doesnt really reflect how they really look, ie the over bright blue at the top.

Definately, it's only because the camera was on some stupidly slow shutter speed that they look like that in the pics  :grin:

Nice one Dom, I think I might change the displays to red instead of blue. My dials are blue as well so it'll be like yours when I'm done. And copying me with the same tax disc holder and dice? Pfft.  :grin:

Ah, didn't realise you had the tax disc holder, I think I remember seeing you'd got the dice though! I guess it makes up for you copying my dials :grin:

Oh well, great minds and all that  :cool:

Was wandering around town earlier this evening (for anyone who watched children in need Cockermouth was featured  :shocked:) and the usual friday night chavs were cruising around. Made me realise that my car is seriously lacking a nice exhaust note so i'm gonna keep an eye out for a different backbox  :smiley:

Just lose a silencer, should make a difference.

Cheers Wayne, didn't think of that myself :afro:

Any recommendations on where to get a pipe to delete the middle silencer?

  Quite a few sellers on ebay sell various lenghts and diameters of stainless pipe on fleabay last time I looked.

Got myself a lower glove box and VR6 highline centre console off ebay for a tenner a piece, so they'll be fitted sometime next week. Might treat myself to a new handbrake and gearstick gaitor as well  :smiley:

Also got some of LL's headlight tint film on the way to try and get my joey'd headlights a little bit darker, i'll post the results at the weekend  :cool:

Cant believe you are looking for a centre pipe Dom... I pulled one I made off of the exhaust you bought and chucked it - perfect fit too :shocked:

It's not going to be easy to get that diameter of stainless in a small length but if you do I'll save you the hassle of measuring up what you need:



 
The guy that used to work at Jabba that has the exhaust place (name escapes me at present) will be able to flare the pipe for a modest sum but make sure its spot on OD or it will leak like nobodies business

Typical  :rolleyes: :grin:

To be honest i'll probably stick with it as it is for a while and change the whole cat back system sometime in the new year  :cool:

MOT tomorrow, i'm hoping that it passes  :undecided:
