Got one local so that's handy. Hope they do smoked glass.

Anyone know if there are any sites on the webternet selling these, like custom shops etc?

Googled but nothing about.
cheers!

i know the postage adds to it but the exchange rate is good - i got my side pipes from jegs.com in usa for less than you could buy them for in the UK and the were the full length ones :D

I meant to post this up ages ago... It belongs to one of my customers in London, but I think he lives in Essex or Kent. He brought from a guy already converted and fitted out as a day van inside. I got this picture on the way out and asked about it next time I was there, but he doesn’t normally bring it to work, so I couldn't take any more pictures. He told me that, the previous owner used to take on the custom circuit.
Roof spoiler is a bit too small for the width, but its quite tidy still
