Is your cat still intact? If so, why not just have a straight through? Apparently the noise levels aren't much higher higher without the back box and it'll make your exhaust system less restrictive

na i want it to be standard looking.
i don't want sound or anything chavvy.
alex - i did exactly what i said i would.
hack them both up to make one..
it looks mint. just on the p*** a little.
and smacks my lower bumper on big bumps
(maybe due to last bracket no been on

)
it's safe, just slightly lopsided.
i'll take some pics tomor when it light.
any info on any back boxes that are cheap then?
(and don't need to be modded to fit
cheers

ok heres some pictures of what i did and how slanted the tip was.
close up.. bit mucky tbh lol
and then i got my face and hands dirty again and fixed it.
still slightly slanted but not really that noticable.
this last pic shows how nice it is tbh
what you guys think?
cheers

That doesn't look too bad, you could always get a rear gti skirt which has more of a cut out for the exhaust?

TBH it looks quite nice mate. Seems like you managed to recover a botch-job in the end? Not sure about you needing reversing sensors man

Even my Mum with her dodgy eyesight manages to reverse the Polo without issue

the sensors came with the car
and for somereason wasn't c/coded.
but that'll change in the next few weeks
TDI_Burd - what exhaust do you have? you got any pics of it and info on it.
cheers

cheers.
if the GTI lower valance thing is cheap enough and a straight swap i'll get that, it'l also be cheaper to spray as wont need much if any prep work on it.
cheers for reply guys

You know I only joke

Car looks very nice with the exhaust and colour-coded will be that much sharper.
