Ah yes. Now Vanny has arranged access to the 'members projects' for me I can see what you require it for. Impressive beast that. I remember reading a review of the BX 16v which described its plastic bonnet as 'flapping in the wind' - well, not quite but they are of course a bit flimsy! I see you've ...

I've got one that I was thinking of weighing in with the remains of a TRD.. you can have it but the only thing is I'm in S.Germany! I suppose that's not too helpful. Can I ask why you want it?

Hello Vanny, I've been vaguely following this thread. It looks as though it's coming to fruition now. What is the best way to proceed with ordering and buying a set ( or have I missed this somewhere back in the thread?)

Cats were fitted as standard on 16vs in Germany from mid 1988 I think. Mine was made before that time but I have to pay a whopping €520 a year in tax as it's 'emissions unclassified' whereas the Catted version is €250 a year tax - still a lot. That's why my 16v only comes out for a few months in sum...

Well, it's all sorted now. I went down the local scrapyard, they gifted me a suitable section of pipe then I went round a mate's 'garage' and just welded it together. All that time wasted looking at different brands of front pipe depicted in tiny pictures! Saved a few €€€s though!

Hello everyone, I thought I'd resuerect this thread rather than start a new one. I've been looking for a replacement front pipe and have encountered similar issues : which one? Bosal? Walker? Also in Germany (where I live) there is one made by the Polish firm 'Ferroz' - when I phoned up the exhaust ...
