Looks good mate, fortunately mine had it from factory and really sets it off. Lucked out the other week and won a black tip cat back system on ebay for £11.50.

Noticed you have 10mm and 8mm spacers fitted, ever had any rubbing issues? Been told 12mm and 10mm also work but I think that will cause rubbing. Spacers are the next mod for me

When you remove that top screw does it loosen the arch liner or is it well secured elsewhere?

Hi mate,

What did it cost to get the silver trim wrapped?

I'm thinking of having mine done. Feel free to PM if preferred.

Looks like a top job. How did they go about doing the roof rails? Any visible joins?
