Bought smaller number plate for the front, will fit it this afternoon. Does anyone know how much faster the "steinmetz" badge on the fromt grill makes the car go??

Any idea if these are standard or not?

Standard pipes by the look of it (mates is the same)

And the grill means nothing just looks better than standard :thumbsup

If the grill is mesh then it's standard (well without the V) if it is slatted then you have a proper steinmetz grill which isn't cheap !

Pipes look standard TBH (are they painted black or just discoloured?) you're also missing the heat shield above it so you may get a bit of numberplate warping......... but i ran without one for a year or so without incident !

I'll pm you my moby number, give us a shout if you are about tomorrow and Jon and i can descend on your car like vultures ! :lol:

It looks like a VSE (vauxhall sport exhaust) so will be quite loud :thumbsup




Phone vauxhall customer care line on 08450902044 with the reg number and they will tell you if the recalls have been done or if it needs any doing,they will not charge for recalls regardless of age.

It was the silver edges that made me think it was standard - although didn't lee polish his ?

ANyway if it is a VSE it will sound very fruity indeed......... 8)

looks like the pipes are discoloured rather than painted.

went into arnold clark vauxhall pollockshaws rd this morn and got them to check the recalls. they said all recall work had been done on it.

small reg plate now on, looks much better, not sure how well its stuck though........
