is this as simple as i think it could be? Just a case off adding in a bit of extra pipe just before the back box equivalent to the extra length of the chamade rear end?

Are the hangers at the back of the chammy the same as the hatch? Same shape, position, orientation etc?

Why doesnt the phase 2 chamade have a little exhaust cut out on the bumper like the hatch?

the exhausts are the same, except the chamade has a longer pipe on the back of the backbox.

Hatch exhaust is 4 inches or so short on a chamade

chamade ph2 exhaust exits under the car you can't see it.

cant you just swap the rear bumpers to get the original cut on the bumper ?

As Chris said, chamade bumpers are different.

I had a weird dream where I was taking a mate up north in a funny van thing then the next minute we were in this othe rvan, a vw thingy with a girl caled picotop or somehtign equally daft who was pleased when I said she looked 20 although she was 29.

Who knows! I'm a weirdo, wish I could record my dreams very strange boy i am.

Used to dream abotu cars all the time, not so much now.

I mind when I stuck the c/l etc into the blue energy I never got it working aside from the boot switch.

About 6 months (and 6 months to late) back I woke up around 2am with why it never worked, I never fitted the c/l relay.
