Sigh .....
Anyone had any dealings with Online Automotive ?
I ordered this
3.2 petrol saloon rear silencer 2001/2004 .... VAU6031 which looks correct according to the image .... Cant get the link to work on this one 

But today i recieved this
VAU6030 .... grrrr links not working properly .

Its for a 1994/2001 Estate but they seem to think its the right part despite sending pics .

They seem to think im wrong and they are right  and the other one ( the one i ordered VAU6031) wont fit anyway

I have a standard 3.2 estate one in the shed you could borrow for sizing?   Need it back though as it will replace the irmscher one on the car when it comes time to sell it.

Sorry H i just spotted your message just now ... didnt see them before .
I've found out i may have a friend of a friend who works in a garage so im going to go see him and ask if he can order a 3.2 facelift saloon back box to see if it'll fit .
Vx and Quik Fit and several exhaust suppliers on the phone have given next to no info on wether it will fit or not  ... I dont want to buy one online to end up stuck with it if its a no go , so hopefully my garage friend of a friend will order one with no strings attached if it wont fit .
The Vx guy i spoke to was very vauge as to wether it would fit or not ... didnt say no but didnt say yes either , only said it might be to short as its 10cm shorter than the proper one for mine .
Just need a day off work to go and see him so hopefully the begining of next week

Could you advise me of the facelift 3.2 part number RobG please .... Ive just been on the phone to a Vx parts place that never really came to much either , wouldnt say if the parts were basically the same . All he really said was they were much the same but wouldnt give measurements of lenght etc .

Has anyone actually fitted a 3.2 back box to a 2.2 saloon ?
Every exhaust place i speak to say they are different and wont fit ... One place said the 3.2 one is 10 cm shorter etc which was mentioned on here but i thought that was the 3.0 box .
Might go out to my local Vx service place to see if i can get part numbers or lenghts measurements etc although im fairly sure they wont help , I know which ever one i order will turn out to be the wrong one

If you want a twin outlet Proz, the V6 backbox is the same

Ah i didnt know that ... so any back box for the 2.5 , 2.6 , 3.0 or 3.2 will bolt straight on ?

2.5 & 3.0 from a pre-facelift will need the chrome extenders due to deeper F/L bumper. 2.6 & 3.2, no trim needed but only the 3.2 will have the twin outlet ( and obviously the 3.0 also)

So im now looking for a 3.2 facelift saloon back box 

Ideally, but you`d probably get away with the 3.0 with no trim extender

Ok RobG thanks for the help

Hi
Im going to buy the Eternal Car rear box for my 2.2 petrol as mine has done its job after 4 years  ( Ebay item 190466458829 ) but can anyone tell me what size of clamps will be needed ... i might also get a small and tidy chrome tip as well ... not looking for a big stupid gay looking thing though , so what diameter pipe will the exhaust have and any suggestions for a chrome tip ? Keeping in mind i want to keep the car looking good and not trashy . Maybe something with a twin outlet .
I will search the bay etc but if any one has any hands on experience with tips or pics of some fitted feel free to share   

TIA
