Ordered. Cheers for the heads up. Look much better than the oem pipes. I would imagine they would probably look tatty if not maintained going by experience on my Volvo daily driver but at £20 a pop they could just be replaced.

Any chance of a dummy's guide to swapping them over (inc. self tapper)?
Pull them off and push them on :thumbsup:
Is it actually that simple? What about the mention of screws - do any need removing, people seem to be recommending putting them in?

I can just see myself attempting to pull them off, having no luck, then pulling harder and harder until something breaks and wishing I'd just asked my garage to swap them over the next time I'm in :lol:

These look great for £20! Anyone know if they will fit a pre-facelift 3.0i?

Bu88er! I've only gone and ordered a pair for mine!! :) The ones I have on seem to be distorted somewhat and the chrome is peeling at some points so would have been rude not to get a new pair!

Thanks for the heads up. Would've made you a nice profit if you'd bought shares in that company before posting :P
