How to finish this off?

Some may remember my twin exit exhaust/grill thread.

I have never been happy with the finish around the tailpipes, the grills look rough.

I’m thinking something to finish it off, obviously due to heat it can’t be rubber. Maybe a metal “ring” but how to fit to the grills?

You could find the center of the exhaust and use a center drill core to get the edges equally spaced

The exhaust tips are central to the holes (pic taken during trial fitting) .
It’s the grill looking rough. What I need is a fooking massive washer round the tailpipes.

If you use the core it will give you a symmetrical finish assuming you dont slip or use a toenail cutter like you did on the original.

Failing that you are going to need a metal sleeve to put around the cut hole - like this : https://blinkergroup.com/en-gb/metal-sleeve/

How about a carbon fibre ring or aluminium ring painted satin black and just pop rivet it on?

Or use spire clips so it can be easy removed if needed.

Ooh, a carbon ring bonded on, that sounds a good idea :+1:

Will it cope with the heat @johnfishcurtis ?

These guys seem to have a plain round option Carbon Fiber Exhaust Trim ring – Maston Fabrication
