A few questions!

[Mitch H]

First off just fitted r32 rear bumper and bcs exhaust with decat   


Any tips on getting the exhaust tips a tad higher up in the bumper? Only way I can see is to cut or heat up and bend the metal bit up which don't really wanna do.
(I don't mean the heat shield I mean the actual metal bar behind the exhaust can't really see on pics. It's not far off but I like things to be perfect!

Also just done a check on all under bonnet fluids. Does anywhere do a black dipstick? I have an evoms intake and fitted the black coolant and washer caps looking at tt engine cover in future but the bright orange dipstick does my head in! 

Think that's it will add more pics to my progress thread :)

Thanks in advance

Im not really one for mods myself but must say that looks bloody lovely mate

Can't see a issue with heating the bracket up and bending slightly myself

I don't know if you can get a black dipstick, but have you considered using plasti-dip to change the colour?
Those centre exhaust pipes do look good.

Cheers and never thought of that! Not a bad idea how's it withstand heat? Never used the stuff myself but a few friends have

Hi Mitch I'm not sure how resistant it is to heat as I've not actually used it myself, maybe someone else can advise.

Pretty sure I've seen a polished one before which you could easily spray or spray your one now

Where do I buy a polished one? I'm not set on black just anything other than bright orange lol

I've used plastidip loads, it's heat resistant to about 200degF so would be fine. You can do exhaust tips in it and they would get hotter than the dipstick.

Durability wise it's going to last a while if it's on with lots of coats (5+) but could be rubbed off.

I would look at sugru myself, but surely you can just get another dipstick with a black handle?
