only had my sax for the past 3wks or so now.

When i brought it there were a few things already modded on it.

Well the prick who put the exhaust on didnt do a good job or didnt know wot he was doing.
The exhaust is too close to the car and it's slowly melting the bumper - knob!
He also hasn't properly held the exhaust on either - only got a few cable ties there.

Good job i got my uncle to fix this soon for me, otherwise i would either lose the exhaust altogether or have the bumper melt away. lol

I feel better now - just wanted to have a rave as its a job that can be easily sorted out.

But my main winge is the fact that they go out their way to do or get these jobs done to their cars but dont do it properly - so why bother eh?

Oh and another thing - they must have HACKED the bumper when they fitted the exhaust as i have a jagged edge around the exhaust! again that can be sorted eh.

Its not the stuff i need to get sorted its just the uselessness of others!

:panic: :boxing:

You should be able to tell if anything is if you look around.
