F30 Dual Exhaust conversion

UKF30 · 03-01-2017, 02:11 AM

I am thinking to get dual exhaust conversion now but not sure which way go either chrome or Black tips .

I personally like Black tips and I rang Dealers and they said price is same black or chrome (Tips are from 340i Backbox )

I want OEM look and no loud noise so getting a silencer fitted as well

Dealer said £80 for both tips

Black tips! Stealth all the way!!

Jamin320 · 03-01-2017, 02:24 AM

Definitely black.

Abzynthe · 03-01-2017, 02:40 AM

I like black too. I would say chrome if you had a light coloured car with the original chrome grills at the front and silver wheels.

betty02 · 03-01-2017, 02:48 AM

Are they matte black or like a gloss? Hard to really tell on the top picture, still go black. Just thinking about myself ha!

HeresMyCar · 03-01-2017, 03:16 AM

Black all the way

UKF30 · 03-01-2017, 03:39 AM

My car is MG and this is look I wanted

betty02 · 03-01-2017, 03:47 AM

I see they are a nice chrome black, do it, black diffuser, etc! What's the part number? New diffuser or cutting the old one?

Not heard of them, let me know how it goes.
Always wondered about just getting a fake one to mimic the wheelbarrow effect.

vadimo · 03-17-2017, 08:08 PM

has anyone tried spraying chrome to black themselves ? I am getting chrome ones installed but the specialist wont do them in black, so i will have to fold cardboard around exhaust tip and then i guess use; metal primer and heat resistant spar paint. Hopefully it will stay on
