Nearly fainted in the car garage

Lmao - only £159?!

My Mini was in for an MOT and the exhaust had the worlds smallest pin hole at the very back of the backbox - adjacent to the tailpipe itself. It was marked down as "Excessively corroded"

Fortunately, he was able to quote me £900 for a new exhaust; but it was fitted, with a 3 year guarantee ... - Yeah, no thanks, I'll buy some GunGum for a £1 thanks.

lmao guys,  I am def going to fit myself one, its not a prob, going to get a perfomance secondhand one.

Did fill the hole with gungum, for £2.49 has done the job for now.

God in my head I was thinking most prob £50 quid fitted lmao how wrong was I, really not used a gararge for years.

i remember kwik fit quoting me £170 to supply and fit a down pipe to a 8v mk2 gti and the fitting was free. i bought one for £65 and fitted it myself saving me £105 worth of free fitting

i hate exhausts,   f**king expensive horrible things that usally refuse to fit right.

usally end up buying a load of 304 stainless and makeing one,    the one that really pisses me off is the flexi sections when they are attached to the cat or something stupid  they fail bloody quickly round here and the pattern ones cant wait to fall apart.

Kwik fit wanted £80 plus fitting for a new centre box for my mk2 ibiza, found a website that sold it for £14 and fitted myself

It's who you knw, it really is. i got a cmbelt from euros £180 they wanted, my mates trade discount £60 for it 

Back box (from here and p+p) cost me £30. Again with my mk3 the exhaust wasn't a straight fit luckily a mate of mine knows a man (genius, can do anything, welding, mechanics, plumbing, panel beat etc...) he turned up, cut the pipes to length, welded the pipe (my mate cut off with an angle grinder to fit round the axle) back on, cut the other pipe to length and the backbox was on. Exaust pasted each end together, an exhaust bracket added for a bit of security and bom! he did all that in 30min, mans a genius

Could not agree more, not what you know but who you know. nice job though to be done in under 30 mins.

Will be looking round for a backbox, but all quiet at the mo, so its good, but not going to leave it like it
