You Lot Will Be Happy Now!!
Finally got my exhaust extended as my MOT is coming up! You guys have been hassling me for ages to get it done so I hope you're all happy now! I still preferred it tucked away, but it doesnt look too bad. I made sure my mate knew I only wanted it the bare minimum, just almost level with the bumper.
He also gave it a check over for the MOT, said it's solid underneath, all my suspension etc looks ok. He reckons if it's gonna fail, it'll be on something daft!
Here's the pics

Well, I'm not a massive fan of amber indicators, so changed the front and side ones for clear. I think it makes it look a lot cleaner, so had to match the back ones too.

fairplay to the owner lol

the list is huge!
I doubt I'll go down the RS bodykit route though, I like the standard two tone look, although both bumpers have scrapes on them (wasn't me) so will be looking to replace them at some point.
The to do list, in no particular order:
Fix an pain in the ass oil leak
Fit FRST running gear so I can crank the boost up!
My mechanic mate reckons the head gasket may need done soon, but recommended getting the big ends etc done too
RS Bonnet in the garage to be fitted
few TINY bits of rust starting to show, especially round the rear arch where it's been filled before, so get them sorted along with two new front wings then possibly a respray
Escort Cosworth wheels
Customise my dash a little bit, without losing the originality
ACT gauge to be fitted

lookin good Keir - loves mint with either orange or clears
i think he models with the black bumpers ie orion and bonus's really suit the clears whereas rs/xr's need oranges
