Sounds EXACTLY like an RS3 with the dynamic pack!

 

[illingworth22]

Well! Any Update?

 

[batch]

Well! Any Update?

Yep... Just unwrapped them!

 

[batch]

Hydrodipped using premium carbon fibre film (x2 I think to create the 3D layering) then finished in industrial/marine-spec ceramic lacquer. Well happy with these to go with the mirrors!

Thanks to www.wickedcoatings.co.uk
Spoke to them this morning and they do various other finishes that people might like so give them a shout!

 

[Tej13]

they look awesome! I can't wait to see them on the car.

Thanks mate, I was a little nervous but needn't have been. I've seen their work on million-pound yachts, Aston Martins, prosthetic limbs even and it all looked fabulous. Well happy with these!

Here you are....

 

[illingworth22]

Very impressive indeed!

Can we have approximate costings to do this or do we need to get in contact with Hydrographic direct?

You can have exact costings mate!

£115 including VAT and a return overnight carrier. I used Wicked Coatings in Poole, they do a lot of industrial and marine work as well as stuff like this, their website link is in the first post!

You just wanted to make Pervy comments about my tips...

 

[azibux1]

Nice!!!

Did they say anything about the heat affecting the dip? Or its guaranteed not to be an issue? My guess is the latter

 

[Bradks3]

they look really good! I'll be doing this, thanks!

 

[sukrw]

Looks ****** awesome!

hhmmm this could be the answer to my exhaust tips - the chrome has gone really bad and pitted and just won't clean up with a milky tarnish and horrible surface.

Maybe getting this process on them is the answer!

Do you think the coating is "thick" enough to hide the pits in the chrome surface?

Thanks

I asked them this myself @azibux1 - the lacquer is heat resistant up to 200C, I'd suggest if your exhaust tips are that hot you've got other problems as the car's on fire! It's a really heavy duty coating, so should be more than adequate.

Yes mate, they prep the surface anyway, then a base coat before the dip so should be fine. You MAY have to pay extra for additional surface prep if it's really bad. And for those without carbon mirrors and bits, they do many other options including chrome and satin alu which might suit?

Yeah I think that should do the job haha

Carbon fibre.............well roger me sideways, I didn't see that one coming!! lol

Hats off Batch, they are VERY smart.

 

[pburv]

Have you thought on getting your alloys done in the same way?

 

[steeve]

They look stunning, well done mate.

I have new wheels in the pipeline....

 

[batch]

Thanks @steeve - really happy. Even if you don't notice the carbon, from a distance they have a black chrome kind of effect which is equally smart!

 

[roadrunner_oz]

I put these on

 

[batch]

I put these on

Yep, I've got six of those left over from my first plan, nice bits of kit.

 

[sukrw]

I put these on

Do those fit the S3 exhaust? if so, where did you get them and how much?

Thanks

If they're the same as the ones I've got, no they aren't a direct fit and require some modification to the existing pipes (basically just cutting back). Where are you based? I've got six for sale if you wanted them!
