Nice design but I'm not a fan of the polished rim look

Thanks Bioforger A different style would probably look better in white, Rota GRA's maybe?

Fitted my new exhaust also, 3" decat system, wrapped down pipe, 4.5" tailpipe.

I knew it would be a bit louder than a 2.5" system, but i didn't expect it to be as loud as it is

To be honest the nuts are sh*t! Too soft,got to be really carefull when fittinng them. Probably going to try the rays tuner nuts in the future.
