Alternative Exhaust Tips - sheppy1 - 14:th-Feb-2016

Hey All

What do you all think of these exhaust tips? I personally LOVE them! I don't have any exposed exhaust tips at all so really want one of some kind! Anyone know if these are the merc ones?



RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - Jj0063 - 14:th-Feb-2016

Yep with the matching splitter looks decent.

Also makes me want to refit my Opel badge lol

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - sheppy1 - 14:th-Feb-2016

Drooool! How would we get a splitter like that on our Js though?! Wouldn't it have to be custom made?

Haha yeah I do like it too but I'd have to go all out and swap all of mine to the Opel ones!

I know! They always seem to be foreign Opels for some reason

I don't see why we couldn't... Just need to find someone willing to do it and then you'd just find your own tips online from a merc

That rear diffuser is custom made isn't it

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - bhalay207 - 18:th-Feb-2016

Are the tips even functional do you think? I'm thinking they're like the Honda civic triangular ones where the actual exhaust is visible behind it.... If that makes sense

Here's another pic of the same style tips



RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - bhalay207 - 19:th-Feb-2016

So as I thought, they're just a trim cover.

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - sheppy1 - 19:th-Feb-2016

Oh yeah! I didn't even notice that! Well...wonder where we can get them from?? Must be pretty cheap if it's just a cover/diffuser and not real exhausts
ahhhh from what I can make out in the Opel J page between the guys chatting about it in Turkish it's a custom made job so not gonna be cheap

Don't like it. Looks like that hyandai i30 sport version. Clearly fake...

He's also got a reverse camera

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - bhalay207 - 19:th-Feb-2016

I don't think I could fit anything to my car that went by the name of Tampon

I like the front bumper and I love the black line on the side

It's about £150 before postage

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - Jj0063 - 20:th-Feb-2016

I'm seriously going to consider that bumper but need to weigh up costs of shipping and paint.

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - cornishtaz - 20:th-Feb-2016

Front bumper is just a srandard VXR bumper modified to fit.

I'm sure this was looked into and if you changed brackets and headlights is was a straight swsp with no mods.

RE: Alternative Exhaust Tips - tucpal - 20:th-Feb-2016

no baz they cut the lower section from the vxr bumper and add that to the 5 door top section of the bumper
they even did one from an insignia vxr on the astra j the same way
there were pictures somewhere of how they did it on the astra j team website
i am sure they were also talking about making fiberglass molds.
