I know this has probably been covered many times but just wanted some advice on a few enhancements for my 4.5.

I want to get a sports exhaust fitted and wanted to know who would be the best person to purchase and fit it from around my area (N.E London). I don't mind travelling a few miles but not hundreds. How long does it take to fit? Is it a while-U-wait job? And I've heard of prices varying from 300 to 700 quid. Are there varying qualities and makes and models, if so, what's been the prefered ones?

Also, I wanted to fit clear indicators to it, I know you can do this yourself but I'm rubbish at stuff like this and will lose my patience if it's fiddly. Any recommendations on who to fit them and costs involved??

On the audio side of things, I spoke to a company near me who have kitted out Cerbera's before (had to ask that one first) and they have recommneded the JL Audio range. Has anyone had any JL gear fitted or experience on this brand. I have heard they are good quality.

Very grateful for any advice.

T.

I know Joolz is the man for work on Cerbera's but I think Derbyshire maybe a bit too far to go. Saying that, if it's a while-u-wait job to fit an exhaust, I might consider driving that far. Thanks beej.

The side indicators look pretty easy to do and could do them myself but not sure I want the agro that may come with the front ones. How about Andy at APM? I think that's not too far from me, will he be able to supply and fit a sports exhaust too?

Bandit, do you mind me asking how much you've been quoted for??

Cheers Washy,

I did go to Offord Motors website a little while ago and saw that they were very reasonable with their Servicing costs and considered them for any work if it was alot cheaper than Castle. I think the quote from Castle re the sports exhaust was pretty high compared to what others have been quoted. Didn't know about the Warranty issue though, I'll double check with my policy. I've got time anyway to think about Decat or Sports.

Had a look at my baby yesterday and a bit undecided on the clear indicators option. I quite like the standard ones as well. I might just go for the DIY job on the sides and leave the fronts alone.

At least I've got a couple of people to try now which aren't too far for me (APM & Offord).

Thanks for all the advice chaps.
