You should try getting your exhaust parts online, Ive got a tame mechanic, gave him the parts and he fitted my exhaust, manifold back and changed my cambelt for £160 (including the parts)

Paying £63 for both services, £17.99 for the tracking + camber, then £45 for the exhaust. All fitted with a 2 year warrenty, seems ok and unfortuantly it needs doing. Leeroy in his 106 thinks i'm ragging the engine everytime I pull off! Lol.

Hopefully going to split them, get the centeres done either painted or powdercoated, not too sure on design/colour yet.

This exhaust is driving me nuts, i've taken her off the road for now!

wasnt too bad jay. Requires two people definately though, a hairdryer, and lots of patience.

Hardest part was getting it to stretch and fit snug around the visor inserts and interior light!

I'm speaking to a couple of people about them mate, its the wiring loom that sounds like a pain in the arse!

As for the ibiza bits, i'm also chatting to a few about sourcing it, but need to sell off more bits first.

im sure the loom can be easily made - all the connectors are easily sourced from VW, so all we would need to do is do the wiring in between.

Yeah defo, I think someone sells the loom + relay over on club polo so i'll have to check it out (or we can diagnose what the parts are LOL :lol: ). Most sets don't come with the plugs for the fogs either, which is a pain. Cheeky picture (off my phone sorry!) of the 6n2 roof strips from above.
