yes the one on ebay
this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291156259810?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Those seats are GOPPING ... UGH ... HORRIBLE .. pass the sick bag :(

Tow bar and the twin exhausts are not compatible ... but you can fit a single outlet rear box to the left side and a "dummy" pipe to the right, leaving the centre area clear for the towbar if you wanted to ... and buy some seat paint/VERY dark glasses ......

As said, either side exhaust is "not compatible with tow bar" according to Irmscher.

There could be room to fit a custom link pipe behind the tow bar, depending on the type of tow bar. Swan neck type might be more suitable for that idea. Some trimming of the bumper might well be needed too.

They are bloomin horrid but the interior isn't a major problem the tow bar is the issue for me. The car is a long way for me to go and collect as im in Accrington and the car is in Southampton and the seller isn't very helpful at answering question. Think I will just leave it as I would prefer the saloon Mv6 with leather and the irmscher kit

If your in to multi colours, could always buy this MV6 Estate, He only wants a Grand for it, no Tax or Test mind.  ;D
