Hi guys,
Fitted mine over the weekend. Really pleased with the result. I took about 55mm off the pipes. Have included a pic, will try and post some more later.

hi mark, i didnt measure it! i just put the tips on, and marked it out with a black marker when i thought it was far in enough! lol its tucked in very nicely. it prob sticks out about same amount as the stock ones. i just wish they were tucked up a bit more cos they are angled downwards!

looks good mate, obviously if u have a body kit u need to take less off, but on stock bumpers they look like they come out loads

and we have had them engraved.

Now I just need to find time to fit them - but first I need to go buy a chain cutter, some emery cloth and some sealant!

and bah humbug.

Managed to snap my 3mm allen key trying to get the original tips off. New set of allen keys has enabled me to strip the head off both bolts so now I guess I'll need to drill the blighters off.

And that will have to wait till next weekend (OR a trip to Blandford, which ever comes sooner)

looks very nice - they dont stick out as much as i thought they did...

very nice and suits the aero bumper kit better than the stock tips.
