Just bought a 147 2.0 lusso and love it. Looks great with the 17' allloys, black and in 3 door guise.

However there is a large rusted back box visable. Reputable a new standard one will look like that in 6 months. Any recommendations for stainless?

I fitted a CSC one about 6 months ago, which cost marginally more than the standard one. It's not stainless, but the oval tailpipe fills the gap in the bumper nicely and it gives the engine the sound it should have had originally, without being noisy. The box itself is much smaller, so it doesn't get dented underneath like the standard one.

Also, I have heard that a Supersprint 4-into-1 manifold does wonders for the engine, but my budget wouldn't stretch to that at the time.

I have a Ragazzon silenced centre section and back box which I bought from Gazella for my 147 GTA.

It looks superb and sounds great. Take a look at their website, and also at Autodelta.

Not sure what age your car is but at some point they changed the coating on the back boxes so they don't go rusty but they are still a big oversize boxy thing.

I have a stainless Ragazzon rear section and middle section on my GTV, good quality and fits well at a reasonable price. I got mine from Gazzela racing too.
