Weight saving mod to show off exhausts

Lesson number one, DONT buy third party crap bumpers. The holding bolts are still there, they went through the bloody holes.

Lesson number two, things will fall off at inopportune times...it fell off, bounced a few times, and a bit hit a BRAND NEW bright yellow audi TT that the guy was driving home from the dealership :|

Luckily not a single mark on the TT, thank god it was fibreglass and just shattered.

Anyone got a rear RSAP bumper with twin exits in electric current red? Didnt think so

Tom.

ZG002 · 27 Feb 2008 at 00:06

You can weight save even more now by taking the rest of that tow bar off lol..

un-lucky. Least it didnt damage that TT tho.

rG-tom · 27 Feb 2008 at 00:13

lol yea, i took the visible part of the towbar off as getting to the structured bit was a pita with a bumper on, and i never got round to finishing =[

Gaffer tape TBH

Seriously though, lucky the TT was undamaged, and it wasn't something like a bike behind.
