Exhaust pipe gap

[Gazza84]

Hi, as I await my saloon ordered 4 weeks ago, probably into 2024 I was wondering if anyone knows of a funnel or sleeve that can cover this awful gap that ruins this almost perfect looking car? I don’t want to change the exhaust but would like a cosmetic solution to fill the gap if anyone knows of a company fabricating these?

I have to say, I notice my massive steering wheel more than I've ever noticed the exhaust gap. Just tell people it's the same as an R8 V10.

Just make a nice sleeve to join the 'proper' exhaust pipes to the 'fake' fixed tailpipes.

And then you can watch as the vibrations and the heat break and melt your plastic bumper, job done

An odd post I know, I’d still prefer it to look attached if there was something available.

It doesn’t have to be joined at both ends, just look like it is lol

I much preferred the 8V look but you get used to it just like you get used to all the other quirks.

It's easier to wash.

And if it starts flaking easier to replace

I religiously cleaned the tailpipes on my Golf R but at 2 years old they still started to pit, really annoyed me, tailpipes were welded on so complete new rear section required.
On my R8 they just screwed to the bumper, still a PITA to change though

Cheaper than paying out for a complete new back box though.
