BMS slip on tips in the UK

[wolly440]

The standard GTI tips just a tad small for my likiing. Is their anyone in the UK that supplys BMS slip on tips?

They're $99 on there website, but $60 shipping plus import taxes will make them a bit too pricey.

Any alternatives out their without cutting and welding new tips on?

The tips are part of the exhaust aren't they? If you want to take them off you'll need to cut them off.

These guys sell the slightly different style BMS ones - https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/products/bms-vw-gti-billet-exhaust-tips-mk6-mk7?variant=47845710292

They are $139 from Burger in the USA (http://www.burgertuning.com/billet_exhaust_tips_for_VW_GTI.html)

They also sell the style of ones you linked but for BMWs, so they be able to source the VW ones for cheaper, might be worth speaking to them

These look the same as the mk7 GTI tips on the BMS website, might give them an email to confirm. £123 plus free postage is not as bad as buy direct from USA

BMS tips are designed to slip on over existing GTI tips. Not a bad idea really.

They need to be some size to fit on the existing ones

Funny I've been researching these myself.  The only thing that puts me off is removing them is likely to leave big scratches on the original tips.  A small factor since they might never be removed...

I'd be more worried that a slip on would trap water and rot the underlying OEM part.
