Right car is done and lovely.
BUT!

They have had to cut my exhaust tale pipe (standard) went to buy a nice shiny new tail pipe before and cant find one what will fit in the hole but the bumper is sitting too high.
Right heres a quick diagram i did on paint brush so you get the just of it. sorry if it is really big. Its making my bumper go black at that part too off all the shit out of exhaust

Linz...if you have a look at the backbox on your car you should be able to see a small black rubber (at the top somewhere, prob have to get under htere with a torch or you can feel for it).
The rubber has holes in it....one hole slots onto a metal bracket coming off your backbox and the other hole slots onto another little metal bracket on your car. Thats what holds you exhaust up and stops it dragging on the floor! Depending on how far these holes are apart depends on how high/low your exhaust hangs on the car....if you get a smaller rubber it will sit higher and then should fit thru the hole in your bumber.
*gasps for air*
lol, right hope that explains it for ya Linz :wink:

3" is the biggest tail pipe that you can fit without cutting the bumper.
