dobby Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well I have the copy HKS true duel and over the 3 months or so of having it I wasnt happy with the tips. They seem to be losing the colour and I didnt like it anyway so after seeing a guy detail a lambo in a particular way I thought I'd give it a go. I never thought it would work but using 3M fast cut and a DA buffer seems perfect for stainless steel. I was quite shocked at the mirror finish that was before me. It was quite difficult to photo mind being round and all. Heres the pictures. The difference is clear. Its not like they wern't shiney already however buffers take things to another level. I love mine . Untouched back box Polished back box Both done Not my kids btw they just wanted to sit in it and beep the horn pretending to drive it LOL I have now ruined one of the pads so I need a new one to use on paint. Worth it though. Thanks for looking Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveRS Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I love the look of that exhaust!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobby Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I jacked it on the fins. I think the cover was removed when the exhuast was fitted. I cant remember how it looks with it on. Thanks for the comments. Although hard to see it is like a flawless mirror in real life. I certaintly have the correct car to buff up as it grabs EVERYONES attention. I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Is this the same HKS copy you can buy from ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I jacked it on the fins. I think the cover was removed when the exhuast was fitted. I cant remember how it looks with it on. There is an actually jacking point on the diff. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobby Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks for the info. It is the same exhaust however you need to get it modified to fit around the diff. It is no hassle for an exhuast place to do this. Dont be put off if you live near a Longlife or Powerflow garage. Longlife did mine and they got the exhaust. Cost me £700. I was a little gutted compared to what others paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Magpies would be attacking your exhaust now. Very shiny. Don't forget to keep the inside of the tips clean too, really makes the look that much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
