Evening all, just a few quick updates from me
First up my new exhaust
Custom made from cat back with straight through mid section


With Powerflow backbox



Sticks out a bit too far for my liking tho so gonna take an inch of the mid section to push the whole backbox back  :cool:

And just made the 199,000 mileastone  :shocked: :grin: :wink:

Had to take our lasses car for repairs a few months ago, she's a childminder so had to use mine for the day whilst I had hers. When I got home the front splitter was hanging off the car  :shocked: She proclaimed she new nothing of it and I clipped it back on, no harm done.
Last week she had to use it again whilst I took hers for its MOT
When I got home this time




Again she claimed she new nothing of it, saying my f**king stupid car is too low anyway  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Silly cow ha ha ha
