It's come to mounting the exhaust..a single box RC40 twin DTM side exit.
Not sure how to mount it though, hopefully some pictures will explain a bit better than I can:

The rear hanger is on the left - seems to be in completely the wrong position. How can I secure it?

Same problem here really, the hanger is miles away from the mounting point.

Opinions are very appreciated, links to what I need to buy are even better!

If you had a later mini subframe it alreay had the mounts, as you dont have these weld some steel rod onto your subframe and use rubber handers to hold it in place, iv got a RC40 system on my mini at the moment and i had to do this...

Iv not used RC40 fitting kit, but im guessing you could also fit it using that...

what you have at the moment is a later exhaust with an early sub-frame, so the mounts dont match.

cut them off and get the RC40 fitting kit or fit the adapters as in the post above.... simple :dontgetit:

Cheers Anorak, I couldn't see how the fixing kit worked (I have terrible spacial skills!) but those pictures are very helpful.

My rear valence is so rusty :dontgetit:
