Do the only thing people are going to see and get the tip
Those twin pipes will look really naff though. get yourself a 2.5 inch outward rolled tip

I must admit, i like the twin pipes, here is the tip i have at the moment:



Was a very cheap one, and is now rusting, hence wanting a replacement. Can't afford the full system, so willing to spend 10% of that cost on a stainless tip.

The flip fobs look exactly the same what bobby is supplying, for about £8 less delivered, even including the correct key blank.

Cheers
Dave

None of it ...

Save up and get a 2nd hand stainless back box. You'll get one eventually and then the tip gets skipped ....

Better still - save up and get a respray to a different colour .....

I would like to think you don't drive around with the bonnet open, and when you don't drive, you don't lift it often, so why bother with bonnet lifters -if its that much of a shed you are always under the bonnet, weight it in.

As for the tail tip, it reminds me of a colleague who ordered the 318i company car then had bmw weld another bean can next to the original to make it look like a 328i with twin exhausts, much to the amusement of everyone else in the comapny it fell off!

As for the flip key, they are designed not to stab you in the groin, but for those who live in the leeds and bradford area keys also double as personal safety (according to this bird I know from Bradford) by putting each key between the fingers so that you are ready to stab someone, so if you live and park in a nice area with no terrorists about I would go for the concealed flip key, assuming you don't need to stab anyone quick it could be a worthwhile mod, at least your groin will be safe and you will always be able to have kids.

The fob is a good idea but I wouldn't want one with Land Rover on it. I agree with Dan though. Save up and buy something substantial before blowing it on little bits you'll get bored of quickly.
