Exhaust tips-cleaning them my way

I know a lot of people prefer the twin turbo ones (with a german rear bumper to accommodate ) but until the funds allow cleaning up the existing ones was the best way forward.
These were pretty bad when we got the car and it kind of let the whole back end down so armed with my trusty metal polishing kit I got to it.

Took about 2-3 hours per tip from removing them to putting them back on. Hardest part was removing the clamps because they were rusted on and so the big boy tool , aka Grinder, came out to budge them. Replaced them with genuine Porsche ones


Before





After






Once I got started I couldn't stop !!






and all fitted
