Default Exhaust heatshield?

Does anyone know if these are done in carbon? I know you can get bling stainless ones, but i'm not a fan of them

Something like this - http://www.randbmotorsport.co.uk/sho...?ProductID=106


But for a sapphire? I'd like something discreet

I was thinking of getting a piece of aluminium sheet (shiny or painted) folded to the shape of the bumper, and then riveting that on. Should look cool and be functional.

DIY, take your bumper off, rough the area apply a bit of carbon weave using fibreglass resin, can have any size shape you want then, as well as blue, gold ,silver weave etc.
The R&B price is pretty good though.

I would make one from either aluminum as said or SS, you should be able to get the shape no problem, just make large enough to cover the missing parts.

"A wee bit melted" you say ha ha.

You could get a piece of cardboard and cut it to shape so the edge of it fits snugly into the bumper to give you the profile. Then take it to a sheet metal bloke and get them to bend/fold you up a piece of aluminim, and then paint it with heatproof paint, and rivet it on.
