i'd say 3" and get a second hand one, its not worth paying £90 for, as long a the tip is clean you dont see the rest

That's not too bad, the one I have in my eye is like £95 with postage so I think I will just get that one at the end of the month too :p

Whats the point in spending 100 pounds on a backbox when a Corsa B is only a 500 pound car. I got my Sportex 4" backbox from a scrapyard for 30 quid, easy as that.
