My 5 currently has a sidey fitted and has had the exhaust cut out in the rear bumper filled in!
i now want to fit a rear exit system so wondered if somebody would kindly measure how far from the left the cut out starts,how long the cut out is and also how high it goes??

Thanks in advance :)

I bet there are a few members happy to swop bumpers with you.

Yeah he has the cut out with GTTUning surround, I though Gary was after one so he could fit a rear exit:scratch:

it would never look right if you just cut the arch back out anyway.. Just swap it for a fresh rear bumper.

Mine was filled at one point then cut back out as the owner didn't like the side exit and since I've had it I've rid of the rear in favour of sidey, my cut out doesn't look bad, it just doesn't have the finished lip but hardly noticeable.

It will look fine as that is the reason i got hold of a gt tuning surround 1st! so i could hide any imperfections :)
