To fit the 4 motion style exhuast you need to fit the 4 motion rear valence dont you?

heard rumours this is the case

Yeah thats what I thought having mine fitted the week after next works out about £50 for the rear valence.

Yep you will have to cut out a metal piece aswell, its already there ( From the factory If the car was going to be a 4 mo) just need to be cut.  :smiley:

I take it you're talking about that 'L' bracket which holds the bumper on??

It doesn't have to be cut - I just bent it upwards a bit.  It probably doesn't look as good as if it were completely removed, but I can bend it back down when/if I ever want to put the original valance back on. :afro:

is there a great deal of difference between the 4mo valence and the original valence i.e the depth of it, does it sit closer to the road

been thinking about an Anni exhaust but perhaps cutting the original valence to make it fit rather than pay silly money lol

It probably won't be that long until I try my Anni back-box with my 4M valance, if you want to hang on??

(I'd of thought you would have tried it by now, though!! :tongue: :grin:)

i chopped mine down the middle and bent the left half up.. that way you can still bolt the valance back to the support :afro:

edit: found an old pic i took the day it was fitted

The delay is, that I've been waiting for a non-res centre section to come up in the classifieds/ebay as I've been quoted approx. £125 (+ VAT, IIRC) for a custom made straight through centre pipe - So if you see any being advertised, please let me know.......................
