Re: Exhaust back box - Exige S1

sorry to have missed this, but I have an original S1 Exige silencer (very good condition, covered just 2k miles before being removed) https://i.imgur.com/rnduwQ8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iuTbNKF.jpg - if you wanted to keep things original - let me know if your interested? - £50 plus shipping should do.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

so finally my clutch bleeder block arrives from the USA, ordered in March! - yes I know there's a global pandemic going on....but this is the last time I order anything from USA, unexpected customs charge of £30 puts the total cost of this little fella at a whopping £160!!!! https://i.imgur.com/dngH...
