wont sit in the recess, as most 106 exhausts sit under the rear bumper

Have you seen what resale values you could get on a 106 website?
May be worth picking it up, selling it for profit and then buying the proper one?

Buy the exhaust, use the centre section. Sell the backbox and then buy a saxo one?

Hmm i reckon your first idea was best Dan,
I'll see what the resale value is.
I've never used 106owners before i dont think =\
I'll buy it, try it on, if it doesn't fit, sell it to a 106 owner.
