Exhaust cut out in my bumper.

[StevieG-09]

I have this a letter box type exhaust on my car now and acctualy hate it.
It was on the car when i got it and just despise it, i wish i hadnt got the bumper cut for it to fit snugg when i had the sport body fitted to the car but i did :dead: Im going to get a new exhaust made up at pro-speed in cardiff and would really like to just have a slashed tip at a tidy size maybe 2 1/2", something subtle really. But because the bumper is cut, something that small wont fill the gap and think it will look stupid. This is what mine looks like: (not the best pic but you get the idea)

Do you think its guna look stupid and have to go for something like a twin tail pipe? like two 2" or 2 1/2" pipes?

If i get a new bumper its going to cost me a fortune though, having to buy the bumper, then get it sprayed, and then eventually get the exhaust on top of that
Plastic weld? would that involve having to have the bumper re-sprayed aswel?

yup. they get a piece of plastic (probably a cut out of a old bumper and weld it into the gap then you can cut the hole for the slash tip out of that

Get a few quotes from body shops, They will melt a plastic (plastic weld) card behind the cut out, Fill it and spray it.

Havent got a clue about prices.
