hi flip

exhausts new are around Ã‚Â£70 for the BIS headlights are also dear, i have a 2nd hand one in near perfect condition, (no rust) you can have it. i'll even respray it for you, just worried about posting it because of cost, whens the MOT?

whats wrong with your current one? rusted through? Emmisions running high?

regards

Chris

Cheapest headlights are the left hand drive ones,easy to change,break off the left hooker lenses,get some rusty r/h ones,strip the lenses off,clean,then silicon the r/h lenses to the new bowls,thats how they are made at the factory,just siliconed in place,then you get the halogen bulb holder bis bowls in your aircooled.................. :wink:

on the subject of bis exhausts..........do the 500 'giardinara' ones fit? i see them advertised on the likes of nannis site..........i cannot believe they are just for the 500 estate car(laying down a/c motor) ??.if so tuned exhausts await ye bis owners........... :wink:

hello

The exhaust is badly rusted and leaking badly he said and headlights badly tarnished. (no beam pattern) the emissions are ok and can you belive that my brakes are fine (that was my main concern) i got a quote for about Ã‚Â£70 for a new exhaust plus VAT too. i am sure postage wont be too bad for the exhaust but we can sort something out. thank you.

The other miner faults or rear side lamp insecure, got the bulb changed dident put it back in right. lol. screenwasher inofective on the passanger side and excess freeplay in the front N/S wheel. I dont think its all that bad just a little exspensive for parts but will sort it out slowly.

My MOT is due on the 8th of febuary but might sorn it for a month gives me chance to get some parts together.

. im keeping my options open on the head lights at the moment just been over to a fiat garage but they dont do them. lol. ill keep looking

Thank you for your help

Hi 126Dave,

Dad has got a spare Giardiniera exhaust (plus the car to go with it :p ) also have a spare Bis engine, so I will see if it fits this weekend.

I was looking at getting the 500 Giardiniera high efficiency muffler myself, for the BIS if it fits ill be placing a order right away

It may take abit of modifying though it doesnt
