Stainless Steel Tail Pipes.
 
Managed to get my hands on a set of stainless steel push on tail pipe thingies for £10, the same as these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271202492187

They're a tight fit and I had to push quite hard but the look brilliant, much better than the slightly corroded original exhaust pipes.

I didn't buy them from the eBay seller. The ones I brought were brand new from a friend who brought them for his VW Golf but wrote it off before he fitted them. He said he purchased them off eBay so I searched and found a pair exactly the same in case anyone wanted to purchase a set.

I measured the outside diameter of the original pipes, 60mm. The Stainless parts were 68mm inside diameter, the 4 clips inside hold them on very well, was quite hard to push them on.

They're a tight fit, but that's the way they should be IMO, don't want them felling off when you pop to the shops ...

A week later and almost 1000 miles(spent the weekend down south) they still look great.
