Untidy Exhaust

[paul6]

My car had been given a twin custom exhaust before i bought it, and the bumper was cut out quite 'rough' its not that bad, but im fussy!

Anyone know where i can get a surround / heatshield that doesnt look tacky like a 'ripspeed' job?

Can't justify a new bumper with the current economic climate!!

Back from my computer modding days, The c moulding is used on computer windows. But you could use some of this, The stuff in this link is quite rounded, If you search computer window moulding you might find some flatter stuff, I know it exists just hard to find.
