I may or may not have booked in for my 4th set of exhaust tail pipes for this car.  :grin:

I was sick of looking at those manky rolled tips so I opted for the OEM-ish approach today  :innocent:

Off with their heads! ( you can see them to the left of the picture  :sick: )



Ta da!!!

Well hopefully going for a staggered set if we can get the fitments right.

They are 18x8J at the front and 18x9J at the rear.  Offset is 42 so that's the only thing worrying me.

If I can't manage the 9s at the rear i'll just buy a full set of 8s.  :happy2:  :party:

Sounds good!! I'm in the market for some lm reps and fancy 8 front 9 rear on a ET45 but have the NQSBBK up front so dubious about whether theyll fit over!
