Guys. I've had a cooper s front bumper on my Cooper for coming up to a year now. However it wasnt the best paint job in the world so i looked on ebay and found a bargain: Cooper S front and back bumpers, side skirts, grill and surrounds, all original BMW Pepper White so I wont have to get them painted all for an amazing....£104!

So, im going to need to get a Cooper S style (but louder) back box. Anyone reccomend anyone (dont want to spend a fortune) arround the worcestershire/birmingham area?

Powerflow are very good for custom exhausts. Can get it sounding just how you want. Reasonably priced too.

Don't buy powerflow. I used to fit them and they are cheap rubbish that fall apart inside where they can't be fixed!!!!!!

A genuine Cooper S exhaust, check with your dealer, but I am nearly 100% sure its a straight swap, and there is loads on ebay

If you wanna do it properly, get to Lohen for an Alta of Borla

Some of the older ones were a straight swap, with the box mounting on the same hangers however it progressed to two boxes on the r53 and with the r56 its centre mounted.

Think I'm gna go for a cusom made box, can get one custom done, exact sound I want with any tips for £170 with a life time guarantee. Not sure if I want a twin or single oval tho??
