Yeah hiddel exhaust is the best option for a car on coilovers, I had a mongoose twin pipe backbox on my GTI and that was on coilovers.
It scraped on my drive every morning and speed bumps

hidden is the best route to take

Still wanna keep the sound and that just after a backbox I think because performance isn't an issue with this beast :p

How much do you reckon would be a decent price to pay?? I presume you can just change the bacbox

Yeah you could get just a custom backbox made but your probably best changing the whole system if i'm honest because there wont be much difference in price.
If your happy with the current sound or would like it louder then they will customise it to your needs.

For a full stainless custom system (cat-back) your probably looking at around £300-350
I would imagine getting them to make you a custom backbox would be very pricey

Yeah I guess so. Living on this tiny little island am very limited to what I can get done by who. Think there is one stainless fabricator here and they're fairly poor might have to wait for a nice second hand one to come up.

Or just slam it and hope for the best

So happy to have her back after insurance repair. They washed it for me and valets the interior too. Very happy needed a pic of her all shiny

So next on the list we have the coilovers and to fix my airbag light for the mot. Also got some TT knee rolls to go in and looking at getting a custom hidden exhaust

Not a lots happened lately picking up some nice things at UD at the weekend though. Just thought I'd pop this up though

Retro and new

Bought as a run around while his Ibizas off the road. Were all becoming quite attatched to it though :p

Cheers for the comments guys! Had such a mad day at UD was such a rush sorry I didn't catch up
With you man. Hope you had a good day! That is a polo saloon. Retro as hell picked it up for £150 like I said as a run around but he's getting seriously attatched to it haha got his eye on some dishy wheels and he's already bought lowering kit

Update on mine gave her a nice clean yesterday.. Had the coilovers put ok sitting ok on the balloon tyres ATM but scrubbing like hell, that's what its about though

unsure what to do got a lot of plans in mind just saving for a bit. But here's the pictures:

Also pressed plates and surrounds

Next on the list gotta get the spoiler sprayed up and fitted an halo rings in

lots on at uni so might not get done for a while. Buzzing for summer though to be out and about in this finally looking how I've wanted it since I bought it 3 years ago!!

Cars looking good mate

just need to get some lower profile tyres next

What are they on it now 195/55/15's?

benmkiv · Post by **benmkiv** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:16 am

195/50/15 I did it cuz I was skint as anything at the time. Regreting it now. I've been reliably informed that I should 165/45/15 so they're next on the list

get it on the floor with those I think:

Fairly happy with it now it's lower,
Been wanting it for 3 years or so all I needed was to break up with the mrs and boom!
