It does look good, Thanks :D

Exhaust from the cat Back was from <a href="http://ebay.co.uk" class="skimwords-link" target="_blank" data-skimwords-id="874161" data-skimwords-word="ebay" data-group-id="0" data-skim-creative="10201" data-skim-product="0" title="" style="">Ebay</a><span style="position: absolute; "></span><span style="position: absolute; "></span> £71 with free 24 hour delivery.

MS-Design Sportvan Exhaust Trim was orderd via EMG Ford, Shipped direct from MS-Design in Austria £179.00 + £12.00 Carrage charge (Delivered within 5 days)



Did i read that right?? £179 plus postage??? For an exhaust trim???
Glad i got a hand buit stainless exhaust. Thats just silly money


Yes thats correct £179.00 for the Sportvan exhaust trim ! costly for a genuine MS-Design part 8)

Just need to get rear roof spoiler & Front bumper skid pan to finish.

Unfortunately It seems that the front skid pan is no longer available from MS-Design :(

Part was not on the price list they emailed to EMG Ford, although rest of parts was on the list including the Sportvan parts for the later 2009 onwards connects :!:
EMG Ford are currently waiting for confirmation from MS-Design.

why dont you just get one from modyourtransit as the front skidplate is only 90 quid painted, plus Paul also has the roof spoilers and then that would be job done!

Ive got the front and rear skidplates and sideskirts waiting to be fitted, but still undecided on whether or not i like the sportvan spoiler.

I did check Mod-your-transit.co.uk, But it does not give the option to purchase the skid plates seperately. Listed as a pair - front & rear :(

If sold as single parts, Yes I would buy one :D - Supprised that they are no longer on MS_Design's price list :shock:

& would have the roof spoiler as well - cost £229.00 from MS-Design (Trade)

I got side skirts from Mod Your Transit. Fitted really well. One of the best aftermarket body parts i used. Really sturdy and fitted sweet. Easy fitment.
Also have the sportsvan spoiler to go on.
Really good products although i have to honest i dont see the point of the skid plates.

pm valetech and he can sort you out the skidplates on there own. Im sure i paid 190 for front and rear delivered. He also has the spoiler for 160 pounds i think. I think the skidplates look ace, but like i said earlier not sure about a roof spoiler on a van. Makes it look like a shopping trolly!

Reason i am fitting spoiler is i am doing away with 3rd brake light on back door and incorporating in the rear spoiler.
Fancy doing something different to the normal.
