About your exhaust phone 0800 0480754 Exhausts UK ask for Matt, a bit of a long shot but they took off a perfectly good stainless steel back piece like you pictured, off my 350i last week if your lucky it may still be there. Good luck.

Thanks for that! Unfortunately I ordered a new one on Monday!
Don't suppose you have any spare wheels do you?

Yep! You did say it was going, I just wish it had held out till October though. Good job I looked under there now, it does look a bit scary. Shouldn't think it's a particularly major job.

Looks from the pic like the outrigger needs replacing as there's not a lot to weld except rust , presume its the passenger side ? Best to get it done properly or it will break/crack again .

Welding article on the www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk under the maintenance tab if I am not mistaken.

The exhaust outlet parts numbered 16 and 17 in the picture below.



Any suggestions where I should try?
I have part 16 (both tailpipes) and I think I also have part 17.
There was an issue fitting them to your exhaust due to clearance etc when the engine was replaced which is why there were left off and you have one single (but large) tailpipe sticking out the back.

Here for info on the outrigger repairs:

They have no centre caps but Paul who is selling this wedge:
