Ah well, just heard back from the guy selling the exhaust and he's putting it all on hold for a while. He's keeping his car a bit longer and thus the mods too.

On the positive side, I save lots of money! £600 on the TBE, plus fitting and stage 2 software saved, and now possibly I'll go back on the hunt for some sexier tail pipe trims as per a previous thread.

Yeah, after all the jumping up and down I did before saying it wasn't worth it on a road car (which I still agree with if paying full retail price on all the bits needed to upgrade) I was kind of looking forward to it.  :sad:

Still, first thoughts were ''ah well, maybe I'll look into the xenon retro-fit again'' and then ''no, I'm not spending another grand or so on that when the car is depreciating so fast''. I blame the internet - too much temptation out there!
So I'll just put things on hold and see if the guy changes his mind again sometime before I get itchy feet again.

I'll wait for someone else to not f11ck about first and then buy theirs second hand when they've finished with it!
I don't mind £600 on a second hand system but I ain't going near a £2.5k system! That's £2.5k towards my next car down the drain otherwise.......
We'll let the big spending boys jump in first  :smiley:

Jim: And don't forget your sound system needs sorting. Better to enjoy the inside sounds than the outside noise! :grin:
