I have been toying with the idea, in the near future, to go for a 6x3" letterbox backbox as part of a custom system.
I currently have the usual suspect of a Scorpion system but wanted to get opinions on the letterbox backbox on, most likely, a centre-exit?
Maybe this is O.T.T like the old-skool Carisma backbox especially as im gonna keep the body standard!

they make a nice 'rattle' at certain revs due to the tip vibrating :laugh:

Complete gash imo. Serves no purpose but to ruin the bumper and sounds dreadfull.
Maybe 15 years ago but not now. Try something different

with a back bumper like this, with a little bit of work would look ok

you're not far wrong mark, was actually made to take a set of trailer lights so the oe light clusters could be removed for a smoother rear end. Was also a plan to use euro spec clusters and put red fogs in. It wouldn't take much to cut the slats and uprights out and stick some mesh in for a centre exit.
seen them on to many corsas and saxos to even consider 1......... think there way to over the top for a 5 :cooter:
