Ad lav your one looks good. As long as it sticks out that much then I would be ok with it..Looks like JKM did a good job :) It's free fitting for mine if I take it there. If I could do the coilovers myself then I would just get them as fitting seems to cost as much as the things themself!

isnt your exhaust melting the bumper ric??? also all you need to do to straighten your exhaust up is undo the last section and twist it and then re-tighten it :shrug:

OVALS RULE :D

I might take you up on that rash :) I've loked at muddyboots' guide and rear ones looks easy, just the front ones a bit fiddly.

Clone: I have been quoted £280 or £50 more with fitting.

they are very exspensive without fitting exspect to pay around £550!

I suppose it depends on if you want a nice performance increase or just (maybe) a small increase and tasty exhaust note. Personally I mainly want the sound and can't really justify the extra £300 right now.

I went for a country burn today and was wishing I had better handling so I'm edging towards the coilovers right now...

i had the whole system fitted so cant say if the cat/downpipe is worth the buy ect but when i fitted the sports cat before my current setup! it allowed the turbo to spool up alot quicker and sounded much more throaty if that makes sense. defenatly a GREAT BUY as i would imagine MUCH better performance and will also give an even better sound! just so god damn exspensive! think i bought the downpipe cat section for around £280 and i think i saw they had risen in price to around £320!!!!!!!

helps to make it look more normal instead of being flush with the lip on the bumper when cold and hot it sticks out a lil bit like its suppost to when hot :thumbup:

Yep, I will be taking pics dont you worry :D I'm going for the twin-jet pipe tho instead of the Cupra style oval one for a few reasons. But mainly cos I think it will look different than most other Cupras.
