It is textured and was/is scratched but Ryan has repaired it by I believe by rubbing back the damaged areas, priming and then painting with textured paint, very lightly rubbing that back, priming and then repainting in the final colour.
I might be wrong but that is how I understand it anyway.

Say hello to my little friend.
I'm quite impressed by the quality of the build of this silencer, the tail section looks large as the body of the silencer is smaller than my Milltek.
For comparison the tail section on this is 5" compared to 4" on the Milltek.

Exactly my thoughts Rich, although I can't see it staying that way.

There should be no need Dean, it should clear just fine.

Sod him, I have to listen to the sound of him revving his classic mini's from early on a Sunday morning, so I will make sure he can hear me coming from half a mile away.

You'll be surprised how well it'll keep. When I had mine the box used to shine up lovely even after weeks of not being cleaned. God I want another one, I'll have to bag a ride on a day out if you don't mind.

Funnily enough I know just the man for the job, and he has my car and the silencer at the moment.
