Gone for slashcut twisted to the side mirroring the way the original tips sit but upsized considerably so now actually fit the aperture :evil:
They look amazing!! Really impressed, you must be pleased? :thumbsup:

Small mod this weekend...

The black rubber texture paint around the start button started to bubble and peel off, so I picked it all off...

Then I ordered this for £3...

And this is it installed, looks better in person...

Bit off topic but I went to FuelFest today, messed up my recording so this is only half the cars...



Did not see a single Z of any generation!!! I should've taken mine.

do you have a link to the start/stop button surround? I can find plenty of //M ones, but I prefer the silver one you have..

I've replaced all links to my photos hosted on Photobucket to Google Drive; as Photobucket is trying to charge me, when I can host for free on my Google Drive

Thanks Dave, look forward to meeting you in person. I think the weather is meant to be great (hope I didn't jinx it)
stock 35is exhaust, as my Z is still under BMW warranty, can't do too much to it, so they are just tips.
