I said to him i cant get a manufacturers exhaust from a manufacturer which doesnt exist anymore, (well it does but it aint the same MG) Anyway he said if he sees me again he will be fining me for the exhaust, Whats the law on after market exhaust as i believe hes just wanting to be an arse and hand fines out.

thats crap mate,ive had many exhausts on many cars,just make sure you declare it with ins etc

The exhaust is declared with insurance, if he fines me for it when he next sees me I'll be going straight to court with the case, he accused me of allsorts, "how do you afford to run a car like this you dealing?" Ermm no officer I work an awfull lot of hours
