roccorich 16 Posted May 13, 2014 Thought so. Best get that sorted, especially as I'm meant to be taking it to France in August. I think I've got a piece that may fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B1ack_Mi16 67 Posted May 14, 2014 Ok, just asking as I'm also missing mine, and as a easy solution I just put some reflective tape on, and made the exhaust hang a bit lower than optimal under the tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,536 Posted May 14, 2014 Mapping is a bit of a one off case though, the car making maximum heat output with minimal airflow past the exhaust. On the road probably never an issue. Personally I always make sure its there mind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nath88n 37 Posted May 14, 2014 I've had one melt as the exhaust was moving about, not worth the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 328 1 Cars Posted May 14, 2014 Make one, I did was a piece of piss. If you can speak Spanish there is a garage showing stock there, but at 50 odd quid retail it is a rip off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
