Polished Exhaust Tips and re-centering on Lupo GTI


TCTA

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

Recently purchased a Lupo GTI and i'm now in the process of tidying it up. 

One thing I wanted to tidy up was the twin pipes by possibly polishing them up. 

Has anyone ever done it or is it even worth doing?

Also, 

The exhaust tips seem to be a little off centre. 

Can anyone tell me why that is? is it an easy fix?

 

Cheers, 

Tom

Exhausts hang on, err, hangers by rubber mounts, they arent rigidly fixed:

You can see the direction of travel on the hangers is left and right in relation to the tips on the one in the pic, so the tips will move in that direction and settle where they hang easiest. You can move the rubber along the hanger and then put a zip tie on behind it to stop it sliding back again.

Or your rubber mounts are tired, either way zip ties all the way....

i welded my hangers back on and I find the rubbers to be quality.

asides from when the backbox snapped off mine has been absolutely fine.
