I remember a few years ago reading that what someone had done with theirs after replacing the lumbar support a few times and it repeatedly breaking, they cable tied the two pieces together and it worked well for them.

Hi guys, I’ve fitted a cat back Milltek exhaust and after a few days I’ve noticed some soot on the clamps.
