Chrome tailpipe tips

[alex.stanley]

Hi all,

My 2.0tfsi quattro s-line has black exhaust tips, and looks somehow incomplete / dirty - is this how it should be from the factory? I would have thought it should have chrome tips?

Cheers.

My little old S Line 1.4 T has two chrome tips !! Thought they were standard on all S Lines ??

 

[Ryan_Hol]

yea the s-lines have chrome but i'm fairly certain the s-line special edition have black as standard, mine does, the same as the RS6 has chrome as standard but the RS6 plus has black

Must be the special edition, they have black tips as std

Yep, black tips on my special edition v2 as well. I prefer them to the chrome.

My '57 plate 2.0TFSI (not quattro) has chrome tips. They are a pain to keep clean! Sadly as I have OCD car cleaning I have to do battle with them frequently.

Agree with the op on this, with the milteks it looks much better, especially with a black car. Black tips just looked dirty.

My late 07 plate (by late I mean it was a week away from being a 57 lol) 2.0tdi 170 S-line SE has chrome tips. Thought all SE's did.

Blimey what a load of responses! I didn't mention mine is a Special Edition (but yes, it is), but I'm not sure what's special about black exhaust tips.. I'd much prefer chrome ones, even if they do need a lot of care.

Are they easily swappable?

I also have black tips and would prefer chrome ones as I do agree they look dirty.
I actually tried polishing mine as I thought it was just soot

Have a look under your car, should be able to just kneel down and have a gander. My chrome tips are just welded over the normal ones so you should only need to purchase chrome tips and have them welded on. I'm looking to change my downturned chrome tips to flat straight ones. Been quoted £160 for the new tips and the changeover process though I've got a few other non-car related items I need
