4.4i black exhaust tip removal

[AW8]

Would be intrested to know if they go back easily or not.


If so I may remove them for detailing as the gap is narrow betweeen tailpipes - ok if kept clean but awkward to clean on used car.

As long as you are "gentle" in taking them off, they should go back on relatively easily. If you are too rough, you may damage the compression clips that hold the tips on. Also, don't use pliers as they could dent or scratch the exterior of the tip. Just spray a bit of WD-40 (or similar) between the original tip and the tip cover...let soak...and then start twisting and pulling gently but firmly. The more regularly you do it, likely the easier it becomes.

OK. I attempted to post some pictures of my car but failed miserably. Defeated by technology and crushed by my total lack of ability to get some pics posted I have deceided to submit myself to the final humilition of asking for help.

How the hell do you get pictures uploaded. I can't drag and drop. If I use the attach files it goes off with the file path and tells me it has uploaded my pics. It fails to tell mw eher it uploaded them to. As I can't see them I assume they have disapeared into a void. Please talk slowly and use short words this will help me and make me feel that maybe you are as dumb as me.

after you upload pictures you then click on black paper clip at the top of the message window and select at the bottom "insert all"

PS I talked as slow as I could and used very short words like: "Clip, at, the, top, of"

I think the files may be to large Jpg 2,095KB JPEG images.

Once you uploaded it won't upload them again. You have to click on the link next to where it says upload failed and remove them from your "temp" bin. then upload again. To make the files smaller open it in paint and resize them to 50% Save as jpg again.
