Exhaust Trim

[DemonDaz]

Having just had BMW fit a complete new exhaust to the car, where can I get a twin exhaust chrome finisher for the pipes? or do I buy 2 single ones?

[TOURINGDADDY]

could try halfrauds but some look really chav so b cautious

[Nostrils]

BMW do their own trims for exhausts, obvious good fit, but I am sure the price will be high - A good fit is a must, you dont want you exhaust to look like pea-shooters in a pint pot look!!

[DemonDaz]

Just rang Lind BMW and ordered them... Ԛ£13 each

[Simon13]

u can get black aswell! i have 2 black ones

[DemonDaz]

Simon, any chance of a pic of the black ones fitted?

[Simon13]

i'll have a look my old standard system has them still fitted!! i'll find a photo of that

[billgatese30]

here you go mate. are these any good

[andyp]

i paid Ԛ£13.00 each for mine and after fitting them decided i didnt like them but they fitted so tight with a mallet that i couldnt get them off without splitting them off so i left them on, got used to it now. summink else to polish, mine are chrome but someone told me they do them in black as well.

Bought mine from dealers but they need some adjusting as the exhaust has a bend!.

No disrespect to simon/chris but I think they stick out to much on his lovely red sport. When pushed back to the bend.




Andrew at WLN had some bespoke trims produced for his motorsport convertible.

I think the dealers trims are meant for only certain E30s.

none taken mate, i think that there about max, anymore and they would be too long but there just about right, maybe a touch shorter would look a bit neater.

hourses for courses and your more than entitled to your opinion......glad to hear some input anyway, thats what this place is all about after all.

[gazm3]

Chris I know you didn't put them on!. Iv'e spoken to Simon about them.

Andrew at WLN approached the guy who made his as a favour. And he would make a batch of 50. Jigging is the problem. But a top finish.

[billgatese30]

don't worry about it dude.......i like to hear what people think whether its good or bad.

glad to know that people still say what they think rather than just being poilte.

[nav786]

bill gates you motor is poo, such poor condition. never seen one so rough

[gazm3]

His cars crap and his pipes are too long!

[Zayyan]

:yeahthat:

I'll give you Ԛ£375 for it Chris.....you know you're not gonna get a better offer.....

Will be waiting for your PM.

[rare]

The exhuast pipes on mine are like 6cm wide each, I cant seem to find any trim that will fit it:(

[billgatese30]

thaks guys, never had such good words said about the car.

zayyan, i wouldn't take that much off you mate.......i wouldn't want to rip you off.

[Zayyan]

Good reply

[billgatese30]

well you gotta be quick in this game mate.

or

if your gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

[nav786]

seriously tho mate, how do you keep it so clean. looks like its just rolled out of the showroom. or is that a pic from 1990

I think they look spot on! Exactly the same as the original back box that was on the car when I originally bought the car, any further in and it wouldn't look like there's a back box fitted.

it just gets a good thorough wash every wek and a polish whenever i have hte time.

other than that its just keeping on top of it.

[DemonDaz]

They look good, cheers Mr Gates, I think I'll have the chrome ones thought, can't help feeling theyd look wrong against Diamond Black.

If you've got chrome on the car go for it, if your car has the shadowline then black is best! That's how it would have been from standard too.

[Simon13]

thats the standard system

This is with my alpina system the pipes stick out alot more!

[gazm3]

Simon, are your tips the same as mine. From the stealers pushed on to the bend?.

Cheers Gareth.

[Simon13]

they are indeed dealer jobs pushed to the bend but i don't keep them on as it sticks out too far this is it normally

[nav786]

CLEAN!!! what you been using it as 'rally'

[Simon13]

twas taken in february or something!
