so this happened today i decided to fit the Audi A4 Exhaust trims as a temporary measure for now to cover up the stock rusty tailpipes until i get new exhaust system.

When you fitted these exhaust tips, did you cut off the original rusty tips? I've bought a pair from Amazon, but they won't fit over the original rusty tips. I can see they're spot welded on, so was thinking that needs to be cut through and the tips knocked off?
The original GTI exhaust tips measure 70mm diameter, but the most I can find the tips go upto is 67mm (which is what i've got).
Thanks, Elliot

Hi , I brought my Audi A4 tips from amazon too,, it’s the first time I’ve ever fitted them but mine fitted over the original rusty tailpipes and I had to adjust the inner metal tabs for a snug fit I just thought all A4 tips would fit over standard golf gti tailpipes has they are much larger ...

Ok, thanks for confirming. I have managed to find some that are 70mm diameter and above, but estimated delivery is September! There's a pair on ebay for sale that i'm going to try out and hopefully fit. They all seem to be a little hit-or-miss with the sizes reading through the reviews on Amazon for the ones i've bought.

Another small update on the car .. ..Large parcel arrived for me the other day in the shape of my new AP Coil-overs just want to mention LC5F'S build thread for posting the link that was awesome such a great deal! as for fitting i have managed to fit the rears which we all know are easy then got carried away instead of finishing one job started another one which is backwards i know anyway on a positive note it will all come together. So the other job a started was to replace the front brake calipers for some r32 calipers i picked up last week the calipers them self's were in good condition but still needed striping down i replaced the bleed screws and fitted some Hel braided lines that delete the hard pipe which is a nice oem upgrade and looks nice too...

Were the sequential indicators an easy diy job? They are very cool
