No point in cleaning the tail pipes as the soot up in a few days

Rizzle Wizzle 80 thrizzle should get some nice new Miltek tips.. even if he doesn't get the Miltek system itself, to keep the noise down. Would look so much better.

I will also buy you a TDI badge at Springfest if you want.

What paint did you use... as i have thought about doing the same. Did you do them in a satin finish?

ARB is still noiseless!  :wink:

Just used some VHT paint, matt black.  Scuffed them up before painting to help the paint adhere - it's self priming so it goes straight on - fingers crossed it'll hold up to stone chips.

Not on the car yet - booked in with AKS for tomorrow for this and a few other updates:
