kag8 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Which ones did you purchase in the end? I just realised the ones fitted on mine don't match! And the bigger one on the left of my car looks larger than even the ones in your pic, suffice to say mine doesn't look good! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for these, like a spun alloy rather than chrome...... look ok and once I had painted the inside black, used cylinder head matt black paint, and cut the existing pipe off by about 2" look fine without being too "loud" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142027151300?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kag8 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nice one! The ones that came with mine look even larger and had faded badly. I am looking at smaller outlet designs, will post links and pics when ordered and fitted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsof G Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 just a quick mention ,the chrome /stainless exhaust tips if you need to replace or thinking about fitting them in the future, ive , not long brought vimto V6 ,the chrome tailpipe tips fitted had rotted on the exhaust, only blunt force trauma got the buggers of ,i loaded up ebay and from the numerous pages listing chrome , stainless, black and so on , i came accross a firm in china who listed stainless finishers for honda accord they have two adjustment one either side to aid a central level fitment , and if memory serves round about £7 the pair inc p&p they arrived in under two weeks and early days they remain stain free and fit for purpose , hope this helps ??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsof G Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi andrew i will upload ebay and find the listing well my son will and i will get him to show the link or photo ( make it so number one ) a bit of captain picard there ? they are really good tail ends full stainless and im sure they came in under £7 inc P&P from china they arrived early and do have a adjustment at either side so fitting and getting a nice cental fit on the exciting tail pipe is straightforward i will upload a few photos later of mine and they do remain stain free?? ,i did consider getting another pair as spares ,but jackie my wife showed me the error of my ways (i dont talk about it ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsof G Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 ok stuart ive got before and after . I did not take many before i started to work on old vimto but you can tell the state of the chrome exhaust tips tottaly rusted and unloved i removed the towbar they are useful but on a coupe they look poor ?? it was only used for a small trailer the boot sale size( i did see the trailer at his house ) . a question was asked about towbars for this model and without cutting the bumper ? if you can point me to the right owner i will post the details of the firm that fitted it, its in with the cars history and the official certificate that stays with the car apparently the body kit on these coupes looks just about perfect love them & a nice set of alloys those black alloys on yours stuart do look great ?? in fact all of the cars with after market alloys ive seen on the forum fit the colour of the of vehicles a treat i think with vimto i will go with black alloys if it was silver the mag wires on the one on this forum could not be bettered stunning , ( dont know the owners name i have pressed the like button ) im not a huge fan of the original alloys but a set of these on gumtree at £50 and painted black some days ago i thought looked smart so its a thought i might get mine enamel coated in black with purple on the inner rim if possible ?? We will see cheers garry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted April 30, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Looks cracking Garry, my wheels are genuine Honda but taken from a 7th Generation Accord, aftermarket alloys can buckle easily in my experience, but never buckled one myself either so go figure, just the careless previous owners I guess. Personally, I would go for a lighter coloured wheel on a dark car but each to their own. Also is the towbar complete or can be removed as such see topic linked below, another member was after one if you're getting rid completely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsof G Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 cheers Stuart. I think i will stick with a black finish alloys and purple rim its not set in stone there are a few local firms that refurbish alloys and offer a paint match ,i am not sure until i have spoken with them if they can incorporate purple in the alloy and the price might rule this out ?i am actively looking for a set aswell so nothing by no means certain i will post when a set is fitted ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted May 1, 2017 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Those pipes look a bit better ! For that sort of money you have nothing to lose which the stance I took ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsof G Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 thank you ??? they fit quite well and they do locate right up to the back box and the tail pipe end sits snuggly inside the inner stainless lip and for the price ,the quality was better than i expected really so i do recommend them as a affordable replacement ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Retro Rich Posted May 2, 2017 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just ordered some. For that price it's a no lose situation. They look far better than the virgin pipes ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich1068 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Agreed. The standard pipes on mine are tiny 55mm things. The exhaust tips make it look so much better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
