--- Quote from: Shoduchi on September 23, 2015, 12:14:30 am ---I chose the tips (mine are genuine Skoda Octavia vRS) and went to an exhaust shop. They cut my curved down tips, got two curved tubes to prolong the back box and soldered the tips to fit perfectly. The chrome tips cost me around 50 £, IIRC, and the labour around 35 £. You have plenty of tips to chose from. I think 90 mm tips have the perfect size after having the BCS Powervalve TBE system fitted in my Ed. 30 (my new gold standard). Search for tips like these, for example:

That's extremely helpful, did you go through Skoda to get the tips sorry or did you buy them externally then get them fitted through the exhaust shop?
For £85 that's an immense finish! So essentially i'm looking for a 90mm twin tipped chrome fitting :evilgrin: get looking tonight when i'm back off work!
in the mean time i've fitted my genuine vw centre caps and some nut covers (not sure on the nut covers yet though)
Shoduchi:
I searched online for the part number and ordered the tips from my usual VW dealer. One of my first buys there in 2009. :laugh: Many euros spent there since (with increasing discounts too).
I spent 85 £ but in the GT Sport, that picture is from my Ed. 30 with a BCS Powervalve turbo-back exhaust (much more expensive).
These are the pictures from my GT Sport. The tips are smaller, so I now advise bigger tips (90 mm):
They were very dirty tips here:
IMO they are a bit low at the moment, they were better aligned with my previous genuine GTI rear valance.
