Exhaust/Bumper Trim

[Mat]

A few months ago I had to put a new exhaut on the car. The original (standard) one never stuck out past the bumer and was hidden away, which is what i liked about it. The new one is a big 5" thing. Originally my mate mounted it without the need for cuttin the bumper, he mounted it so it stuck out about an inch. Anyway, after havin it on a few days and not being used to the bigger, and now lower position of the exhaust i reversed it and rammed it on a kerb!

We've now remounted it in a high place and cut some of the bumper away. We used the cover of the towin eye as a template.

Does anyone know where I could get some kind of trim from to neaten it up. My mate just said stick a bit of vynal there (which is what he's done on his silver car and looks ok), but mine is black.

I'm kinda thinkin of a bit of trimmin like you find around the ZR's exhaust cust out

Cheers peeps

Must resist to take the piss out of the 5" bean can....

as i said when i 1st put it on. It was due to insufficient funds. My standard was ****ed and my bro had the "bean can" laying about from after writing of his fezzy!

I've never been a fan of big exhausts. due to the loudness and the fact they make you sound like your at 70 when actually at 20

this one is ok - doesnt sound loud until 3,500 rpm

[Mat]

5" may be exagerating. possibly 4"

TBH, I prfered the original look it had. Couldn't see any exhaust at all! But like I said, this was due to limited fundage at the time

don't think a cupra will fit an non-cupra will it??

I used to have a similar exhaust on mine back in the day

When I changed to blueflame I had some serious melting issues and I wanted to get a new bumber trim but they come as part of the cupra bumper so thats a no go. All the trims I could find on other websites etc looked nasty so I left it as is.

Thought they fitted with a reducer? Or was that just the mk2?
