My new-look rear end
16. Aug 2006 at 17:48

Before:

After:

Ive already been slated for the badge on another forum i use, and yes, i guess it could be deemed abit chav-ish, and i normally de-badge my cars but wanted to do something different this time, and im not lying am i? Wink

and the exhaust, its just a bolt on trim, I wanted to change the look of the back end without having to @rse about having a back-box crafted for it, due to A: the expense, and B: the fact that altering zausts on Deisels can ruin the power due to back-pressure levels...its not a boggo cheapo tail trim though, its stainless steel, and im well impressed with the fit, sits perfectly.

So, i'll sit back and wait for the kicking on here Wink

Aug 2006 at 17:51 I did see your thread on the 'other' place, but lets ignor that. I acually like the badge!! Really makes it stand out, and not chavvy IMO. Looks good I thought that zorst was stainless, if its just a bolt on it looks brilliant!! - I want one!!! Where did you get the exhaust trim, and how much??

...the tailpipes were bought off ebay, and cost, IIRC, about £27 including delivery...the member was '2xcite' , but i dont think they have any on there at the mo.

If you get one though, you have to lob about 5inch off your standard tail, and it just clamps on, fits real snug in the 'cut'out'
