   Rite- i wana stick this Exhaust trim onto my standard 1.1i so it looks slightly better then the old bent down rusty pea shooter i got there at the moment- theres a smal oval groove in the bumper. What work would have to be done to put this on? Any ideas?
   Cheers Kiiiid!

   Ever thought about investing in a nice tidy backbox....instead of cheap imatations......Would be better in the long run mate....

   you could keep your eye out for a 2nd hand bacbox or system you can pick them cheap enough and if there stainless they shud be spot on! the trim would just clip on ova the exhaust tailpipe but would face down! could get the old saw out and cut the dropped bit might do the trick??
   
   i would stick with the standard in my opinion tho till you can get your hands on a backbox

   Back box ey? And what does that do?Cost?Fitting?Thanx for the advice, but would it actualy be possible to easily fit the exhaust trim or not?

   ermmm the backbox would make it bit louder and be a nicer fit than the trim in my opinion the trims look abit tacky but each to there own! fitting a backbox a garage cud probs do ti for a tenner or summit not a big job 5mins! you can get wheel arches im taking it that your cars a base model saxo not a vt model? ill try find some pics of some

   right found the pics
   
   pics
   
   i think they look well nice on base model saxos im not sure who they are made by someone on here will but think ive seen them in a mag like fast car etc from some company for around 100 pound. you could either do that or search for a vtr/vts kit! from that you would need front + bk bumper, side skirts and wheel arches and door panels! think thats the lot!
   
   as for exhaust i dont think vtr/s exhaust will fit base model could be wrong i woukld say search for your exact car model and if buying 2nd hand make sure its stainless steel!
   
   hope this is helpful

   i dont think mods would be needed it would be made to fit the existing groove i would have thought! ive seen some pics of exhausts and dont look as if its been modded.
   
   as for the paintwork i wouldnt have a clue but it will be expensive mate my guess would be over a grand but not sure by how much lol
   
   have a look at this green desire! its v.nice could change ur mind

   dont get a exhaust trim mate.it would point down anyway so a back box is your best bet.can pick up stainless steel ones pretty cheap especially universal fit ones.
   
   as for the bumper being modified for the back box,depending what sort of back box you decide to get you may need the bumper to be modified which is not a big job it is literally cut out lol
   
   the paint job would vary in cost but it would proberly be around or over the 1k mark.
   
   hope that helps a little bit matey
