Birmingham my old home town lol

it's not an easy task to take up DIY that's for sure

Yeah I am North Notts but glad I travelled to get mine done at this place in Brum as they were half the price and the end result was better than most that have paid £300+ :)

I have taken up DDIY (Don't Do IT Yourself) :)
There used to be a good few places back in the day one with remapping and rollers but both moved on back in 2000ish and I've never seen another lol

That's a good abbreviation for not trying this at home  :signLOL:

Yeah I searched for ages around me and only found a few garages who were charging £300+ and could not fit me in for weeks. Plus when I said can you custom make and fit a R32 Y pipe they did not know what I wanted and I had to explain which worried me. Then found RJ Performance in Birmingham who knew exactly what I was on about, only charged £140 and fitted me in within a week
That is an absolute bargain for the time and effort that has to go into it with  measuring and aligning it all perfect as can be.

It was mate and that included 4" Milltek style slash tips. I am not one to slag other cars off but I have seen some post up with there Y pipes and paid double me and it looks like Stevie wonder has bloody fitted it haha
:signLOL: I've seen a few around tower hamlets that look odd  :sick:
Seriously that was a bargain you got for yours inc the tips as they're not cheap when I looked for some before just replacing the lot  :signLOL:

I know and as I waited in reception I was thinking I am going to come out and the tips are going to be facing different directions and it will be stuck on with gaffer tape haha

Good that they got them straight as it's not an easy job to do and I for one can see that.

Yes mate, he said to me as I was paying saying the hardest part is lining it up properly so that the tips sit correctly in the exhaust holes and mine was bang on in terms of height and centre. Had on for quite a few months now and everything still aligned perfect

It'll be well worth the trip so long as you get it booked in and save you a packet in the long run from any local garage and bonus they know what they're doing. Good luck  :smiley:

I'm still unsure what to do,,, I don't want to spend a load of money then regret it if you know what I mean, To be honest I do like the front look of the car but it's that big plastic rear bumper that I never have liked.
