    I don't care for that fit. Why can't someone come out with one oval tip that is flat on top/bottom a little to conform to the V8 bumper opening. I guess there would be a small market for that but would look AWESOME!

    Hi Aka_dk,

    As Fifty already displayed, you can see my R8 featuring the V10 exhaust tips. Its a clean fit with no modification, however if you look closer you can see the OEM V8 bumper is specifically designed to cater for the twin pipes, as the top and bottom of the oval is flat. If your a perfectionist, then your most likely want to change the rear bumper with the exhaust tips housing specifically designed to cater the oval exhaust tips. (V10 Bumper)

    Excellent, you will most definitely enjoy your new set up (Y) Regarding postage, it is the last week of Xmas so postal is a bit hectic. But try to contact 50P again (Y)
