These exhaust tips are a Royal pain. They look ridiculously bling and over the top when clean, so I've never been a fan anyway, but they seem to be dirty in less than 100 miles and require fastidious attention to keep them as clean as the rest of the car.

So, I've treated them to an engineers purcussive maintenance (with a big hammer), and taken them off. The car looks a little more, "honest", without the overly macho tinsel of high performance dangling under the bumper like a set of chromed testicles, so they're staying off...
