They looked a tad bit dirty so I decided to give them a right old clean and polish...

When I took mine off they were full of stones. Made me realise how much was thrown up and hence the chance of mud flaps has rasied it's head again.

Don't panic ;)

The exhaust trims are larger than the pipes they go around and hence there's a gap. It's just the rear tyres can throw stones into that gap. :D

They won't go in the silencer etc but I also don't want to have a load of stones in them.

No its OK, Tony2 You just need a Thermal lance and perhaps a couple of proffesional safebreakers to accomplish the procedure.

Hi.. mine came off really easy with just a pull. I think the tabs inside wasn't bent up enough to create a secure fitting, that why hey come off so easy.

No tools required, just a firm grip. But not when they're hot cos it will hurt.

SO the standard S Line ones just pull off? Do they go back on OK? Mine need a good clean.

Yep but I'm wary about us all being so open about it on a forum due to the scrotes out there :(
