  1. Finally had this finished and fitted today. Chris at Steamline carbons done a real pro job on it.

    Inspired by the new 275s akrapovic trim, what do we think guys?

    Nice!
     
  3. Each to their own, as long as you like it.

    Personally I never understood the want for a carbon exhaust trim, I really like the standard chrome finish as it sets the car off and highlights the exhaust exit :smile:
     
  4. Looks great that Nick. Where did you get the decal?
     
  5. Chris had it made and applied it prior to the lacquer, really nice finish :smiley:
     
  6. You know Oink I know what you mean as I've thought that for a couple of years now but saw the badged Akrapovic one and thought "must have!" :smiley:

    I like the idea but the decal placement is a bit off IMO, Needs to be further forward instead of hidden under the diffuser
     
  8. I love it, wouldn't mind one myself. Can you get a few shots of the back end further away?
     
  9. Will try and take a few tomorrow mate :wink:
     
  10. Looks really nice but the sticker could do with being less hidden maybe!
     
  11. Looks good and a nice touch
     
  12. i'm with you on that

    looks good though!
     
  13. Not bad, however it is not worth £169/199 in my opinion.
     
  14. Here you go mate

  15. Definitely prefere that to the standard chrome trim, the back end just looks neater.

    yeah looks alot better than standard, the chrome always looks tacky imo
     
  17. I like it but you need the diamond to match. I think having the chrome trim makes everything match nicely. I'd want to do the same with the carbon.
     
  18. I like the fact you can just about make out the logo! Looks ace!

    Ps where you get the sticker from.. I want one for my bike lol

    Give you an idea what it looks like on a Yellow 250 even though it isn't a CF surround.

  20. Does go well with the black diamond too.

    Carbon Diamond :wink:

    Personally wouldn't be buying the CF trim for the exhaust going by the state of mine with the decat....
     
  22. Nah! I had the diamonds, didn't like the look, sold them on, matches the mirrors and B pillars nicely thanks :wink:
     
  23. Well I wasn't completely happy with the fit as it wobbled ever so slightly so ended up refitting it to the original trim, made it stick out a little further too :smile:

  24. OCD much?
     
  25. Have you just glued that on top? Looks horrible sticking out that far, IMO obviously.
     
  26. :wink:
     
  27. No, ended up cutting the original trim to use the rear brackets on it, riveted them to the trim so it fastens solid now, I love it, IMO obviously :wink:
