Tinted lights should only go on dark cars if anything close to black! The clear ones would look much better on a silver 1

next mod..... exhaust

Post by kipper »

for my new exhaust its gonna be different. im not gonna say anything but from the question i will ask u might get an idea of wat im thinking......

where i want my new exhaust to go, my spare wheel holder is in the way, i was wondering, would it be ok if i got a hammer and dented it loads to push it up higher so i could have the exhaust where i want it or would this either damage the chassis or fail an mot?

It wont fail an mot but it will seriously reduce your resale value. The best thing you could do (if you must) Is cut a section out of the wheel well and weld a section back in in a kinda upside down 'u' shape if that makes any sense.

yeh i really wouldnt do that, the same reason as Andy previously stated, it'll de-grade the value of your car if you wish to sell at any date in the future
