I'll shorten them, I don't want them coming past the end of the car

That looks far too low to me, spoils the back of the car.

I was meant to be replacing a wheel bearing on the Mazda today, unfortunately I ordered the wrong part so that idea went out the window.

 

I decided to trim the tail pipes instead.

I think so.

I'll be tacking the tail pipes on so there's no bracket visible

It's only been 11 months Tim.......

 

Unfortunately virtually nothing has happened. We're buying a house so all of our spare cash is being ploughed into that.

 

There may be some news very soon regarding the mini though.

 

I really need to sell the motorbike to fund things
