But just to add - the only exhausts that came with chrome tail-pipes were gen. GM, but they've stopped doing the chrome trims on them now  :(

have you still got your originals? I did this and it worked a treat, there S/Steel not chrome, they polish up like new and will fit over your new end pipes as they did over the originals. Remove them by cutting/ fileing the tack welds. I used 2 pack liquid steel from Halfords to bond them on to my new back box to form the double skin effect as they originaly were.There!! Jobs a good un and cost nowt. :y

I got some nice chrome trims from Lidl recently. About half the price of Halfrauds too. I'not sure they always have them in, though.
