Alternative Exhaust Tips
#1
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?

Yep with the matching splitter looks decent.

Also makes me want to refit my Opel badge lol

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 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

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

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

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...

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
Reply

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

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.

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.
