Default carbon exhaust surround

Has anyone fitted 1 of these?
Whats the best thing to use to stick it to the bumper, i was going to use Sikaflex!!!

All suggestions appreciated

Just take a rivet and rivet it to your bumper.
First take the exhaust off and then rivet it there above and under the exhaust.
That way, it won't show with the exhaust on.

i think they look quite smart, on the correct colour car.

fitted one on a mates black escort a few weeks back and used black rivets, it fitted perfectly.
and that was one supplied thru Ian @ Racetek.

was considering getting one for my own car aswell.

Has any one got a picture of the surround (preferably on a car) that they can post.

Cheers

sounds like your exhaust wants realigning then,if its fitted properly it shouldnt touch anywhere

Same as me mate and mine didnt touch it just gets very hot with over 400 bhp, so i fitted one to hide it.
I can get away with one better as i have carbon on the front aswell as in the engine and it looks a lot better than seeing a burnt bumper once you polish the tail pipe up

Was looking round your car on Sunday, absolutely stunning- one of the best escorts there! Have to say though that cossie badge in the rear bumper ruins it for me!
