right. due to my back box falling off the other day, i thought it was time to invest in a new one! made some phonecalls 2day arounda various places to see when the quickest i would be able to get a scorpion monza box, but they were al bout 2 days delivery, i need the car ASAP! so good ol mum came to the rescue and agreed to pay the extra to get my powerflow, as they had a slot 2 do it 2day.
asked the bloke 2 mount it as high in the car as possible, so it wouldn catch etc. he said fine, started his work etc. later he called me out to the workshop, to see if it was ok to cut hte bumper, so the exhaust could sit higher, i said yeh fine, woteva it takes ets. thne went back inside til it was ready. when finished he took it off hte ramp 4 me, not letting me see hte final product. didnt think anything of it, drove home, and had a look, heres the pics:
all good:
until i see this:
now i said he coul cut the bumper etc, but only coz he said hed mount it higher, but as u can c, in the pics, hes jus mounted it normally, so really, hes butchered it for nothing!
whats more, ive payed £270 to get a CUSTOM fit exhaust, EXACTLY how i want it, and its not. gona give em a ring 2mo, and c if they can sort it!
what u reckon?

Think that looks spot on If its bothering you take it back - but too close and you risk melting your bumper and this is probably what powerflow will tell you
Any more pic's of that peachy ass - it gives me serious Giraffe syndrome
