Daryl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Fitting my Invidia exhaust this morning, bought from Ian, and when looking at possibly doing a bunper tuck, saw these holes above the white plastic mount. Has soneone already done a bumper tuck and just reverted back to normal, or are these standard from the factory? Also,anyone know how to get the plastic mounts removed, as undid the screw and i suspect there is an insert that expands when you screw into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Cheers for that, i cant decide if i like it or not,though feel with the Invidia i should have it to show the back box off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it, you can easily "undo" it if you don't like it, I did it with my ARK and the general consensus was that it looks good, crap photo though :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 To be fair you can see quite a lot of the invidia without the bumper tuck. But I'm also interested in seeing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I could do it with cable tie's and then cut them if i dont like it. Providing i can get some gaskets tomorrow morning, i should have it fitted tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry guys, finished late today, everything is bolted up, just need to tighten some of the bolts up and then drop the car back on the deck and fire her up. Drove around for an hour this morning trying to find some fresh gaskets, failed, so fitted the old ones supplied by Ian, just hope they are good enough for the job. Did some more polishing too, and last night manged to polish out one of the blue flame tips, so other one tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing i can get some gaskets tomorrow morning, i should have it fitted tomorrow That's what I used, it's been fine from day 1, the beauty as well is you get some "adjustment" if the bumper tuck doesn't look exactly even. And just cut them off if you don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've already done the tuck when I was running the scorpion system , but didn't like it as I was on the standard wheels and it just looked way to high at the back , if that makes sense ?! Might look good now though as I'm slightly lowered and wheels etc Come on man get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Il have a look at it again tomorrow. If i do it, id like to do it properly, not just with cable ties, but suppose i could just do it for effect and see what it looks like. Should have everything finished tomorrow and be able to take it for a test run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Well its all bolted up, and im sorry to say im not trying the bumper tuck. Looked at some photo's last night, and was not a fan im afraid. My next thought is whether to go with burnt tips or polished. Im going to have to polish the other burnt tip anyway, as its scuffed quite abit, but can easily reburn it. Sorry the car is still jacked up, but here are some photos.

Bodyboarder81 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ah man ..... Now I'm going to have to do it again just to see if it looks any good ! í ½í¸‰ Looks loads better with the polished tip , contrasting against the blue paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've got a tuck, but with a single exit, so I can't help you lot. Car is looking lovely as always Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah i thought the polished tip looked better, so went ahead and polished up the other burnt one. Didnt get a chance to fit it though. Tomorrow i should finally be able to get the car off the stands and fire it up. Sorry i didnt do the bumper tuck, but already up against it time wise, mainly due to my OCD polishing taking up time that should have been spent bolting it all up. Cheers Alive boy, but its filthy, have not driven it for 6 weeks or so, so hoping the weather is reasonable tomorrow morning for a blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the look on mine and looks even better on your Zed contrasted against the blue. Don't worry about the bumper tuck, ...your Zed your choice. Not hard for any of us to do it if we really want to anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
