chin up matey. I had some bad luck with mine a few weeks ago and got fed up with the way it looked, considered breaking it even but parking it in the college car park last week next to all the shitty chav'd up motors all changed that thought. I also had the same problem with the exhaust but when there is a will there is a way! These cars can be a nightmare at the best off times but so can any car really once you get modding, its all part of the fun i guess.
