I understand that exhaust pipes move under load and the cosmetic oval surrounds don't 'cos they are part of the bodywork. As such, there has to be some kind of gap to prevent contact, but it's a heck of a gap. You could drive a bus through there - if you had a bus (?)
I have no intention of buying after market exhaust parts, but am pretty close to buying some aluminium cooker hood ducting and a rattle can of high temperature black paint.
Anyone found a better way? |
Cheapest option would be to spray whatever's showing up in the gap - some sort of heatshield judging by yr photos - HT black paint to disguse the gap more perhaps ???
HTH,
