Thanks Mat (and Stealth); may I enquire as to what issues your having with the Akra tips - the car I saw them (akra carbon tips) fitted to had the outer tips very close to the edges of the diffuser. I have told my dealer that I want mine centred & the M logos equally upright (not the first car I've bought from them, so they already know how fussy/OCD I am)! They've said that as the exhaust comes in sections there should be enough adjustability to accommodate this.

Has your car arrived in the UK yet (and is having the accessories fitted)? If so, any lessons leant with the Akra I can pass on to my dealer?

Hello,

The issues I'm having is getting them... my car is due next week possibly this week, but the Akra tips are due to leave Slovenia the end of this week, however it's the 2nd time it's been "next week to be shipped"... so I'm unsure, hope they come else the exhaust won't go on for collection.

My exhaust is sat at the dealers, will pop over and see it in the near future as I have some stuff to drop off for them to fit.

Will take some pics probably so if any useful info I'll share it.

Last week my RKP diffusor and front lip arrived, was debating about fitting the diffusor as it may hide the tips too much, but took the plunge.



Let me know how you get on?

Cheers

Mat

Akrapovic shipped my tips today, due Thursday into the UK.

And my car landed in the UK on 14th Feb, due at dealers this week.

Things are moving...

Some titanium m perf tips arrived at my dealer today. Fortunately an order has also been placed for the carbon tips... now the potentially long wait commences

@mlepyro - all the best for the 1st of March!
