Oli, I reckon what you are looking at on the inside of those tips is actually where the exhaust gases and liquid has corroded the steel. Get a flap wheel and give it a good bash then use a milder wheel and go on to polish it up.

Go to B&Q and look in the tool corral. It'll be under the drill accessories.
Imagine it like a pole with sandpaper flaps coming off it like spokes. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.js...&isSearch=true Just like that one^^^.

well done you..seems a lot of work though just for the end tips...when i was up at MIJ performance exhaust to have my back box replaced with a sport one they have a cabinet full of twin exhaust tips,,,£20-£25 and there are loads to choose from
Just a thought,,,,you must have spent that on the back box and the polishing kit,,,,,does look good though

I did think about going down that route but I just really like with keeping with the OEM look. I've spent about £50 all in so far. The petrol cost of going to MIJ alone would probably be the best part of 70 quid and it would mean a 5 hr round trip, provided there is no traffic...which there always is here in London Do you happen to have a picture of your setup?
