You're probably right - I'm just a pessimist! (i.e. if it can go wrong, it definitely will ).

That's less than I was expecting. It does look a bit tasty . Wish I hadn't seen it now! |

PS. How close to the rear bumper are those twin tail pipes - they don't curl downwards like the ones on the factory back box.

Very close indeed, but no harm at all.
The evidence is I added the genuine but modified heat shield several weeks later and I didn't see any damage on the bumper. I should add that with ethanol smoke may be a bit less hot (Coolant is 82°C instead of 90°C and the the upper engine is actually less hot as well).

Still can't decide! Btw, Lady C looks pretty rust-free underneath - must be all that fabulous south of France weather. |

You're quite right Simon, my pride & joy lived her first 13 years in the warmest southern area, between Mediterranean sea & Pyrenees mountains, close to Spain. And since 2017 sleeping in a comfy garage away from rain & moisture if any. The challenge is: which of both of us will live the longer?
