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. :)

Yes they should be chrome, same as the standard GTI.

my milly with the ed30 tips on--just wish the back box was hidden better--of to sent milltek a email


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

I thought they did a shallower back box under the VWR name.

My Milltek's shallow box was supplied and fitted by Milltek.

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:

They are sitting just fine for me  :happy2:

Well for the amount of noise you've made about your exhaust I thought it would look good as well.

As long as you're happy that's all that matters.  :happy2:

To be honest I think they all look good.
Out of interest what exhaust are you running Hedge?

I've got a cat back Milltek on my Octavia.



For me the best looking tailpipes are to be found on the Ed30 Milltek. I would love a pair on my current exhaust.
