s3 standard tail pipes

[S3-Chris]

i believe these can be bought seperate from the exhaust,
do i need to get them from the stealers or is there anywhere else i can get them?
my own ones are starting to look a little tatty!
thanks

Looking tatty as in getting sooted up? Get some metal polish and a brillo pad then scrub lol. They are stainless steel so will come up a treat!

Autosol, does the job a treat!:icon_thumright:

Use with brillo pad as above

You're a silly man!!

Seriously, save yourself £60/80 and get yourself some metal polish. Try not to let them get thickened in crap in the first place. A weekly wipe, and they'll stay shiney for much much longer. If you let the rubbish cake on, then thats when you have troubles.

Take this Mazda RX8 I worked on for instance..

befores:

I thought that this was there factory finish! I couldn't believe that there was shiney metailwork under there dying to get through...


Left "Shiney(!)", Right, "matte black finish":

50/50:

and finished:

Autosol/Metal Polish, Wire-wool, ELBOW GREASE (be a man.. ) and the odd kitchen sponge/brillo pad.

Sorted.

.... suppose so! LOL

If you didn't live so damned far away, I'd gladly do it for you.

Let us know how you get on.

 

[S3-Chris]

I'll drive it down LOL
i'll attack it at the weekend!
it was the previous owner who has neglected it, I've only had it 2 weeks now.
I'll post pics of my result!

Chris, i ended up using Autosol and rubbing this in with 3 different grades of wire wool, took about an hour or so, always clean it with my wheel mit every wash to make sure it doesnt get like that again

 

[S3-Chris]

I've stole some green scouring pads from work, and have some autosol in the garden shed - so weekend plan - attack!

 

[Jimmeh]

Failing that, get the dremel out! (with wirewool Chris, put some gloves on)

I always finish metal work off with Belgom ALU

Used it on a Harley once, looked stunning:
