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.. :lol:

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 :shock: )
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 :oops:

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?

i'm just going to get the lower part colour coded now.

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 :P Even my Mum with her dodgy eyesight manages to reverse the Polo without issue ;)

the sensors came with the car :lol:

and for somereason wasn't c/coded.
but that'll change in the next few weeks 8)

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.
