This is definitely personal preference and mine are these ceramic satin black bad boys which always look good even when dirty:

IMO that BCS exhaust sits too high on that last photo.... and looks like the tail pipes stick out different lengths!

Even Tamiyomans tips don't sit right.  :confused:

Surely down to fitting, I'm sure they could be adjusted... JKM got mine just right!

Bit of an optical illusion in 2d
they are staggered and wash away in two plains which may explain it...
although one looks narrower they are the same as picture 4 shows..

BCS looks the best and agree with Nige I've actually looked at the black car in the pictures when I was getting mine fitted and the pictures don't do it justice.
Perfection.

The black car looks ok but the white and grey look gash.

This may be a silly question, but what colour should the standard ED30 tailpipes be?

I've tried AG Metal Polish they are still quite dark. As mentioned earlier in the thread, should I try wire wool? Should they actually be silver/chrome in colour?

Apologies to the OP, not trying to jack the thread! Just seemed like the right place to ask. :)

I like the Milltek tips but the low backbox is the reason I won't be getting one.
