   IMO it'd be great!!
   
   the quality is spot on, covers you for future mods, and looks lush!

   I wouldn't have thought it would be noticable - I'd buy one if one comes up as they are that rare.

   I wouldn't pay the premium to own one unless it was on a boosted Saxo.

   don't know really. I'd say £500 for a new one (basically new) condition is a fair price.
   
   Maybe £300-400 second hand ?
   
   I can imagine it'd cost a bomb to try and get a matching exhaust made up in stainless, especially nowadays

    well it depends tbh.
    
    It's not like there's one for sale every week. That's how much I'd pay.

    BTBs dont sell cheap second hand.
    
    Lots of people want them there are not many about.
    
    They are not cheap like piper/supersprint so allways will be more expensive second hand.

    I think I have only ever seen one sell for less than £300 second hand and that was damaged.
    
    There is one going on here for £500.
    
    Why do you want it?
    
    Do you have big plans for your saxo or is it so you can say you have a BTB and get forum points?
