Re: Exhaust (Again) update

Well that's them fitted and MOT'd and yes I know it needs a wash! Just need some black heat shields now. Anybody got any in a shed anywhere?

Could get the chrome ones powder coated. Should only cost you £20-30.

Damn good idea. Stupid question but would the heat affect the finish?

Re: Exhaust (Again)

spray your original heat shields with plasticote bbq spray paint. £6 from B&Q or a fiver from wilkinsons.

i used it on my chrome v&h shortshots. painted 2 years ago and no chips or scuffs. durable, cheap and comes out with a satin finish which looks good.

if you want it off borrow your mrs nail polish remover - brings it off cleanly with no damage to chrome.

see below
