What colour is your car? Generally i like black chrome, but depends on car colour and interior scheme.

Pink!

[jdearden]

Cars silver. I did think something outrageous. But I don't like it then a bit scuppered. Who is any good on photo shop.

[R0162]

Two colours go with silver, and they are silver or black.
Here are some pics of my car with Black chrome.
The cars looks quite classy with the black chrome but imo looks more fit for business with the black alloys.





Sorry to hijack the thread but while i was looking for these pics i found an old pic of my car, just wondering which tail pipes looked best, the first one or the second with dual tail pipes, can't decide whether to change back to the old tail pipes.

[jdearden]

I prefer the dual pipes. Il put a pic of mine tomorro. More central letter box type.

I always liked the idea of a bif central tailpipe configuration, look forward to seeing the pics.
Regarding the alloys, bear in mind taht black alloys are much easier maintenance, my black chrome blingy alloys always needed cleaning after every journey due to brake dust.

Here's one that we custom made for one of our customers - this photo shows it in the car, during fabrication:



And here's the finished part:

Jim, wow! That is a very nice bit of kit I wouldn't want to put that on the car and get it dirty.

Judging by that pic it looks as though they just remove the front turbo and bolt the downpipe straight to the flange of the front manifold.Rear one is a work of art though!!

not sure about that angular shape myself. Those lights are going to cause you grief with the law.

[jdearden]

the lights were tested by mot person and said they were fine. they are not as dark as they look in the pic just very dirty. i like the pipes as they are a bit different to norm

Is that a 3inch exhaust from the turbo turning into a 3.5inch after the silencer when the wastegate joins?

how noisy is this exhaust without silencing on the wastegates? im doing something similar and am toying with weather to silence the wastegates.
