The exhaust is going to need some thought, some rough measurements point to it needing some re-jigging, but when I get the bumper and diffuser trial fitted I'll have more of a clue how it's going to fit, I've already decided to trim some of the diffuser away to make it fit the spare wheel well more easily, it won't make any visual difference unless someone gets on their hands and knees under the back of the car

No new pics, sorry !.
But I've finished painting the new bumper, and removed the old one, and the damaged crush cans, i knew the car had a small love tap on the rear end some time in its life, and the old bumper had a gash repair and repaint, it is in fact cracked from top to bottom on the r/h side, all held together with filler on the outside .
I've also contacted Pro Speed exhausts in Cardiff for a ball park figure for a dual outlet system to suit the diffuser, I was going to get a Blue Flame like the one on our 180, but they are £600 these days .

Pro Speed reckon £270 incl vat and fitting for a suitable dual outlet system, so I think when I put the rear suspension, bumper and diffuser back on, + mot, a trip to Cardiff will be in order.

That's a good price ....
I like the sound of mine, but have always fancied a dual exit ....

It is a good price, I am going to confirm it when I phone them, but as it was the owner of Pro Speed that answered my email I assume he knows his stuff, we shall see in due course

I'd need to check again, but longlife quoted me about £400 for a dual exit cat back stainless. For £270 - it'd be worth a run to Cardiff for a day out !

My quote is only for the rear section, I think it would have been more if I'd wanted the middle section

Fitted, next is to get it mot'd, then a trip to Pro Speed for a dual outlet exhaust.
A couple of quick pics.

Nice number plate!
You going for a flush looking exhaust to match the curve of the splitter?
Looks so massively long that one you have now!
Was it flush on the old bumper?
Looks like its meant to be there!

Thanks.
The exhaust is a Mongoose that was adapted from my old 420, it stuck out too far on the 420, and also with the original zs bumper.
A curved end cut to the pipe following the shape of the diffuser might look quite sweet, I had thought of either a slash cut with the end flush with the diffuser, or a straight cut also finishing flush, these are the sort of options that I'll need to discuss with Pro Speed.
