IXXRA......The Home Of The Superblackbird

Hi Peeps, Thought you might like to know the result of my downpipes saga. 1). Went on the "BIRD" forum, to ask about downpipes, 2). Had to pay £5.50 to join, & to get info`about downpipes. (no reply from "Taffy" or "Grant"), 3). Got a reply from another "BIRD" forum member :- Wanted £125.00 for a set of rusty downpipes, Collect only, from a place near Boston, Linc`s. (Too far, taking into account, time & fuel costs !) 4). Meanwhile :- Found a nearly new set on fleabay, £119.00 delivered ! Arrived last wed`. came up like new with a bit of metal polish ! Result ! Also,I thought the un-written code amongst forum members was, to help each other out ? Not fleece you for every penny they can get ! Now, with hindsight, I needn`t have paid the friggin` "BIRD" joining fee, . (Once bitten, twice shy !) Regards, Sircular.

Glad you got sorted Len. Pity about your BIRD experience; the money grubbing cnuts. Never used to be like that.

. Are they the stainless FI downpipes?
You tried Harpic Blue on the pipes? Wonder stuff

Hi Murph, Yes, they're the F.I. stainless pipes. I've cleaned the collector & outlets with some metal polish & wire wool,(nice & shiny). I'll try the "Harpic blue" on the downpipes / headers. Thanks for the heads up.Cheers, Len.
