How much are the fancy tips Steve?
They’re about £120 for the pair.

The ///M ones are straight cut which I don’t think will look right. They’re an 80mm outlet which is about max you’d want with the twin exit on one side.

The Akrapovic tips are slash cut and 76mm outlet which I think will look better.

So I’m 90% sure on the Akrapovic ones (I just wish you could have them unbranded!).
I was looking at those a while back, can’t you get unbranded, pattern ones from eBay?
Rob
I’ve found unbranded ones but they’re the inwardly rolled style rather that the slash cut.

The guys I use say they’ve fitted them to all sorts of cars and say they look great!

Looking good Steve
I had considered some of these
https://www.fastlanestyling.co.uk/ecomm ... 120&page=2
as I'd like the quad pipes look, but I'd have to cut the SE bumper and the 35i tips are welded on so would have to be cut off.
So not sure weather to try it or not

Trimming the bumper isn’t difficult for someone who has done it before, I’d personally get it done professionally and have the new tips welded on :thumbsup:

Well I've done most things Steve, I am a qualified mechanic (don't do it for a living any more though) so if it's going to get done I'll do it myself,
Haven't really looked under the back bumper to see what's involved yet, been busy detailing the rest of the car.

Oh I didn’t realise! You’ll be fine I’m sure!

I on the other hand paid someone yesterday to fit my splitter as I didn’t want to get wet :rofl:

Not much fun laying under cars this time of year, unless you have a nice warm garage, which fortunately I do :D

Just had confirmation that it’ll be ready for mid Feb :D

I’ve got a few more days to decide whether I want the ///M Sport tri colour stitching or just plain black stitching. Im leaning towards plain black stitching.

Yep I’ve changed my mind again, Black alcantara with tri colour stitching.

Saw this pic and it swayed it for me.

Good fun this morning! First time on the rollers, so happy they told me it was running healthily! I was concerned the Tuning Box May make it run stupidly lean but all is well! I’m happy with the power, it feels very strong for a 270bhp car! Nice to see the M4 make near enough 500bhp with ease!!
