hi..

Firstly, I have standard rear valance..no space for tip..and i also presume iv got the itle bended down exhaust...do i need new valance..or can the current one be cut out (neatly of course);)

Secondly,is halfords cheapest place for the exhaust tips...and do they all need me to cut off bend and add more pipe as is mentioned in other treads!!:rolleyes:

If you have the pre-facelift bumper, you can buy an FR rear valance which already has an exhaust cutout...

Go to the dealer and ask for part number: 6L6807521BB41, and it should cost about £19!

I guess you could always cut your current valance out if you wanted, though it would most likely look tatty in comparison! :)

like this, i bought a new valance and had to get bend cut off and tip welded on, cant remember price of valance £19 is about right, and £50 for tip and welding, but then upgraded to this bumper just the other day

Hi
Is there any way of fitting an exhaust tip to an exhaust without welding(preferably an oval tip)I have an ibiza tdi with twin exhaust pipes but it did not come with the exhaust tip(trim)I have seen audi selling a twin set of round tips but I would prefer the oval tip,but cannot find one and don't want to weld it on as I will need to take it of at some time.if anyone knows if this is possible and if so,from where?
Thank you

but,how would it fit ,ive seen the ones from halfords,has an oval tip,but in inner side is round and is a max of 55mm diameter and my twin exhaust is circa 120mm diameter inc the space in between the two pipes.I remember some1 else on here who has the same problem and not sure if any1 had any ideas apart from the audi set of two round tips that fit on top of the exhaust pipes.(which is basically the fr tips)
thanx

I think the Skoda fabia VRS chrome trim fits onto a factory twin exit TDI tailpipe. Well that's what it looks like when you are behind one at the lights.

I reckon that all the vag twin pipe trim are the same and all would fit.I have seen this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260334718747.Im sure skoda or audi would charge the same if not more for this.My exhaust looks the same as the one in the first pic so it should fit.I have got the sport rider and where seat added some nice spec,they took of some nice things like an engine cover and chrome tips!

Yeah,the oval tip should fit over my existing exhaust, as I had a lc before and have seen how it is.I have looked at the seat website and they don't have it on there,just the full sport exhaust,so will have to check with my local seat,but if anyone has a direct link to where they sell it be great\
thanx for all the help

Il pop into seat during the week,I would prefer the oval one,but from the pic it doesn't look like it would fit on a double pipe,but will ask them.
Thanx again
Merry xmas and a happy new year

it would only fit if you got it custom put on as there is only one hole for the exhaust to go into... unless u can manage to get hold of a 2 into 1 pipe? unless u try buying two put them lenth ways and having somthing very unique if it fits?

I have the same car and want to do the exact same thing! What size is the exhaust tip? I've been looking at a 6x4 oval. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance
