LOL, I just bought one for my saloon about half and hour ago ;D

I went for the ETS one from egay (as it worked out cheaper than their own shop, by the time postage went on).

Won't be here for a couple of weeks.

Fitted one to tunnies a year or 2 back, one section was faulty, which was replaced, otherwise every bit as good as Eternal I've used before

From that, and comments elsewhere, think its probably the one to order.

Unless you are after a certain look, not sure I'd bother (based on what I've seen with facelift saloons). The exhaust does not quite clear a FL saloon bumper, but no drone/booming due to that.

Either way, I'd fit the exhaust, then make the decision on whether or not to fit trims :y

ETS appear identical to Eternal, but they are cheaper  :y

ETS did send me a dud centre section for my 3.2, with bend in the wrong place. They replaced it without issue, just time delay in new one getting here.

I'd use them again, as Eternal's site is a right pain to use, even if they list the rights parts in the first place.

The tailpipes actually come clear of the rear bumper by about 15mm on mine :y

But I do have an Irmscher rear bumper :-X ::)

Does the Irmscher rear bumper involve trimming the crash pad in the same way as you do the front :-\

If not, then they're probably the same depth near as damn it :y

My genuine VX one clears thed standard bumper by a similar amount fwiw :y

Fair play to ETS. Just missed the delivery as doing the school run. But that's fast delivery imho
