Anyone know where to get chrome exhaust tips for an e46 325? Need to sort mine out really. Its a bit silly not having them on the car at this stage.

If not ebay, I'd say Souhans could sort you out.

I was onto Souhans about exhaust tips today, they have about 100 different styles.

They told me to give a ring before I head up to have a look, and if it wasn't a Saturday, it's likely they'd fit it there and then

Yes Trim see http://www.souhan.ie/exhausts/exhaust-manufacturing.html?gclid=CMfA54uCg7kCFclF2wodF2sAVw

and if you go up there, there is a deadly greasy spoon on Trim main street that does a fab fryup while you wait for your car to be done

And Souhans are great to deal with they saved me over €550 putting in a new midbox on my car, and when I told him today that I wanted to make the rear of the exhaust look better (didn't know about tips then) he told me to forget replacing it and do the tip instead.

It's a tease looking at websites like that.
Sooooon.

Ah, yeah I've made a bit of a name for myself at the meets for my mileage or so I've been told, probably not true at all, but I can pretend :P

I'm driving a 1.4 astra, 01, great little car but it's just not able for much more of this

Buy a pimpmobile and be done with it.
For that many miles I'd be more concerned about how my arse feels than my pocket.

Easy to say though, I've only done about 6000 miles since Halloween last year.

Maybe you should just start a Toyota museum, Then you could keep the Glanza, get a Levin and plenty of other goodness too:cool::D

Reminds me of a dream that I had recently, I dreamt that I swapped a 1.9TDI into the levin... Was very strange

That lad clearly doesn't want to sell his stuff!

Brake discs and pads also arrived! Here's hoping the rain holds off tomorrow!

Is it hard to change them myself?

Any special tools required?

Everyone doing discs and pads, is there a boards track day coming up lads

40 cars would make that viable

The next go kart merry is at Mondello with our own cars then sorted.

On the mileage front I've done 17000 since paddy's day.
