Would most likely be easy to remove it but not sure how you would re-attach it |

i thought about this myself actually.. i think the magnex backbox tip looks cool (the 3" oldschool magnex's) - wondered how it'd look getting a similar tip and welding it to the std backbox. purely in terms of interestlike this: clicky may look gayer than an LED in a bonnet badge though, who knows ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Rikky, i think it looks ok, as long as no-one can tell! the thing with the halfords tips is when you can see the bolt hanging down!! same with the 3' end, as long as you couldn't see the shitty round bit in the middle it'd look good. i think i might just chop and weld the end, seems easier.________________________________________ Never underestimate the power of De-Nile.Friday afternoon car, built in France.... 306gti6.com Stickers available, pm me for details. or email MjStones83@hotmail.com Sticker Thread with pics |

i should hope not!! i'm tempted to do it myself, it's not too much of a lairy pipe end, but as i said it depends if you can see the ratty pipe in the middle. the std chrome tip hides it perfectly, if you have a little pea shooter tube poking out inside a bigger end it looks like a sock stuffed down a pair of tracky bottoms. if it can be stashed away i'm considering it, be easier than f*cking about with the end off the old backbox.________________________________________ Never underestimate the power of De-Nile.Friday afternoon car, built in France.... 306gti6.com Stickers available, pm me for details. or email MjStones83@hotmail.com Sticker Thread with pics |
