Hi guys, I have my stillen y pipe for sale, it was only on the car for a year, and probably did about 5000 miles with it on. £200 collected from the Ipswich, Suffolk area. £220 posted.

I think if your clear coat on the headlights has failed, or you need to cut through it to get them clear, you'll need to put on more clear coat if not it will just fade again. I used a 2k clear coat on mine. I did take them off and gave them a good wet sand starting with a 360 grit. There's loads of plastic on there so you cant go wrong really, finish it on an 800 after working up the grits, do a tack coat of 2k, 2-3 top coats and you're done. And don't be concerned about the haze on the last sanding pass, the clear coat wets it out and turns it crystal clear again!

Looking good so far! The only inlay I did on the front bumper was the center section which I did in black for a bit of contrast. Where the reflectors are there's just enough material to put a relief cut in and lay it down nicely. Just practice it lots with off cuts. And the rear number plate section had an inlay in the middle as it's way too deep, it is possible, but with all my testing it lifted within a couple of days doing it in one piece. And I think the wing mirrors were 3 or 4 pieces, they were the hardest bit to do!

No I didnt remove any panels, the only thing that came off was the spoiler. The paint underneath was very good actually, I just fancied wrapping it! Big chips will show through a wrap, when I did my van bonnet as practice,the chips and rust spots were sanded and filled prior to wrapping.

its also much easier with two people!

I spent a solid day doing the prep, cleaning all the seams, badges off, spoiler off, lights out and other bits of trim, then probably 3 pretty long days wrapping it. the first day was very slow though, measuring 12 times and cut once... a few mistakes were made, although no one has ever noticed them until I point them out! That time doesnt include the countless hours watching wrapping videos on you tube, I also bought some small amounts first to have a practice with. wrapping speed shapes seems to give you a good idea of what the material can and cant do.

I've been meaning to post pictures of this since i wrapped it, was over 2 years ago now but better late than never! The colour is trenton blue i think, is a cast wrap by kpmf bought from mdp supplies. I've also put some bc coilovers on recently, had a custom exhaust, and new dba discs (which set the car off very nicely!) I also wrapped the calipers in a reflective blue wrap, that was fun.... Apologies for the average pictures, I'll get some better ones soon. I also reconditioned the headlights whilst doing the wrap, and smoked the rear lights and front reflectors with a wrap film, new badges and plates to tidy it up too!

Hi, can I order a couple of these if still available please?

pics added

I'll get some pics if I get under the car again. I dont think the de-cats can go on any other way, if i swapped side the sensor will foul I think, and I dont think the bolt configuration would match? I have messaged Chris, havent heard back yet and thought if anyone on here has a solution I could try and get it done over the weekend.

Hi guys, just after some advice. I went to change my y pipe to a stillen as the oem flex joints were gone. I got some silenced decats from Tarmac, unsure of brand but look the same as the japspeed ones. The stillen y pipe was also from Tarmac. However after I had the de-cats on and offered up the y pipe, the flanges are way out of line. about 10mm side to side, and what looks like an incorrect angle as on both sides, one part of each flange is touching and the other side of the flange has about a 10mm gap?! Im reluctant to try and crank the gap together with bolt tension as its a pretty big gap. Has anyone ever had an this issue? Got some pics today: As you can see from the pictures the angle the flange sits at is way off, and when the mid section and one side was clamped up the y pipe fouled on the chassis pretty badly. Was eventually all sorted though, involved heating the cats up and bending them into position. on the plus side the car now sounds lovely, bit more noise and not too much rasp, still a nice deep tone until you hit 3k on wot.

I'll take this off you, pm me your paypal details!

were they new second hand from the other owner then? or do you not know how long he had them for?

Hi, do you know how old the cobra's are? was there much difference in sound between the two on your car?

I'll take one of these please!
