I'm sick of looking at my bent exhaust tip every time I'm behind the car (thank you very much to the dealer who did my 15k service for that one...), so I'm going to get it replaced.

So - I need ideas. Especially from owners of G models. If you've done your exhaust, mind posting a pic of the tip somewhere? I'm not planning on getting a big, showy tip or anything but I'm trying to work out exactly what I should get. This will just be a matter of putting a new tip on a stocko muffler, nothing more.

I know you have a G but I put XA GT tips on my AH and I see no reason why they would not look great on your car too.

But you need 2!!!

I know, again not an Astra, but a Corsa... however, I have seen one of these on an Astra G. Probably because it's a common tip. It's a lukey. But you can get this tip in particular welded on. Carline mufflers did it for me for the silver barina.

The 'flat oval' tip that oneightoo's Cali has might look good, actually - the G doesn't have a cutout in its bumper for its exhaust so I've been thinking that a round tip might look a bit strange just sort of hanging out under the bumper on it's own.

Then again, Crispy's Corsa looks alright with exactly that setup...
