Thanks Neil, as always, you're a gentleman

Will have a look tonight to see what's involved in fitting them

Concept - still waiting on pics of your car, almost identical to mine. I'd also really appreciate a photo of the tails and really appreciate a short video of how it sounds
You can buy it off me if you like! Looking like I will have to sell it shortly, need to free the £ up for my business. Gutted to be honest.

Depending on what it goes for, I may sell the exhaust as I have the original I can put on it.

Gutted for you fella, you've hardly had time to enjoy it?!?

I'd definitely be interested in that option, give me first shout please?

its just a simple unscrew of the blank one thats on yours (by hand) out of the other half of the unit which is fixed to the boot lid, then separate the new parts and just use the outer part to screw back in to the existing part in the boot - much easier than changing the whole thing

There was me thinking I would have to drill out two rivets on each and then pop rivet the new ones.
Much easier, Thanks

My spring-loaded buffers arrived the other day. Took about 10 minutes to fit (it's easier if you pull the trim away, because the hole in the trim is slightly too small for the wide end of the buffer).

The boot has opened perfectly every time since

Mine arrived yesterday, fitted them an hour ago, as Witchfinder says above, a 10 minute job.

My boot always opened, but somewhat "lazily" compared to what it does now.

Thanks Guy!
