So I have decided to bite the bullet and replace my entire exhaust with a stock BMW one...

Chrome tips are NLA :(

Any suggestions where I can buy decent quality tips? (by Friday)

Is chrome better than polished steel or vice versa.

Thanks

Are you sure they are NLA and are you going for the angled ends or straight ends?

Yip Cotswold ordered the exhaust from Cotswold and they said they are NLA...

Dont really mind as long as they are good quality and will last... but those angled look quite cool :D

They for sale winkeye

I know they are 60mm but how long they?

Try demon tweeks, they usually have a good selection of tasteful and not so tasteful tips.

Not sure the length the car is in the garage and they are attached to the exhaust, you should have nicked them the last time you cleaned the car ;o)))))

When I get the chance I will measure the length.

Also, if they are NLA now it doesn't mean they will be NLA in the future.

I bought some cheap crap off eBay and they look miserable after about 3 weeks, crummy plating rusts really quickly, so avoid them.
