I have a feeling they might fail it on the exhaust sticking out

That last video is so funny though, that noise coming from a Ka is so wrong, but so right!

I cut it off, it looks even more stupid as the outer oval pipe hides a smaller pipe, looks like I have something jammed up it

Funny car, but I don't think the mean ragged look works on a KA Best tidy up the front end and make it look as standard/clean as possible

Fantastic project mate!!!

I lost track of this a while back, really glad to see it got done in the end! A mate of mine has a Vectra SRi 2.5 V6 which sounds awesome with just an Irmscher tailpipe.............would be funny as hell to try and get one of those fitted up to the back end of this!

They're cool, you screw the surround to the car then clip the plates in so you can change them easily

And he's a mate

you can get the tax disc holders here too
