Default MOT failed SPORT - worth selling for spares?

As above - I sadly have one of these - 'N' reg ('96) - goes fine but has just failed MOT and not worth the cost of fixing. (rear bumber however is brand new as just replaced after a rear end shunt!)

No idea about whether it's worth selling as spares - any suggestions?

Exhaust - mainly - but they want £280 for the bit of the exhaust and £350 for some bracket or other. They reckon the tyres are non too clever as well. But I'd fixed the wiper blades......

Prolly cost around £700+ to fix and on a 10 year old car I'm thinking it's best to cut my losses....

I think if you put up a wanted for Sport exhaust on here you might get one cheap and then buy some secondhand Turbo wheels with tyres for a couple of hundred and you are away.

I have some 16" wheels with tyres on you can have for £50 DBW if any good to you?

I say go for it, less than £300 all done's got to be worth a stab.

What bits of the exhaust are you looking for?

I have a backbox (standard one) off a MY93GL which should fit the same as a sport. Also have cat 1 & cat 2 but I know the flange is rusty on cat 2
