Exhaust Tip: Opinions please?
« on: 13 May 2011, 16:07 »
I'm going to get some new exhaust tips for my mk5 soon. Had the idea of going for some mk2/rocco style slanted tips. I'll post a picture that's pretty much identical to my mk5 but with standard tips and a photoshop done by shepgti. I'm half and half on the slanted tips. I like the old skool throwback, but at the same time I'm not 100% convinced. So what do you guys think?

Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Looks like a normal set that has been fitted incorrectly Jimp.

Stick with normal tips, they look better.

Or even go balls out and fit a colour coded R32 rear with black ceramic tips :drool:

Normal tips look best.  Just give them a gd clean and polish with some Autosol and very fine grade wire wool!

Aye, it doesn't quite look right when the stock tips are so similar  :undecided: Regular tips it is, thanks for the feedback folks :afro:
