I'm a big fan of the newer models' moulded bumper over the newer shaped exhaust - would there be any issue with sticking them on a MY00? Any idea of costs?

I think you can change the exhaust tips rather than the whole exhaust. PJL has done it from memory.....

Thats interesting - my whole gripe is that the round exhausts look like they are not part of the car - boy wonder has an older model with an aftermarket exhaust on that fits snugly against the old bumper - the shape of his was very similar to the newer 'tips'

Can you buy the tips seperately then from the stealer?

Poor photo but I have them.

I got them from Hardtopguy - easy peasy purchase. One thing though, when you take your existing tips off you will have to get your exhaust ends cut back by 3cms as the ovals will protrude too much and look silly. Cost me

if you're gonna order anything let me know might want to share postage.....

You little beauty!

I can see myself spending many a buck here - is fitting the bumper/tips a stealer job?

How much is it to get the bumper painted?

a owner in Ireland has done it cannot recall his name but it might be worth doing a search, it was only a few months back.

You can do the swap yourself in about 5 minutes. The chrome tips are held on by 1 bolt each.

Cheers guys, think I will just get the tips and the radio door for now and think about the bumper later on

Is that classed as a mod for the insurance company/warranty etc?

Also, do you have to pay import duty on the stuff from hartopguy??
