Chrome tail pipe?

Mr Doherty's are DIY, he's done a How-To so have a search.

I dunno, all this talk of lowering and mine's low enough already given the state of the roads. Now, if someone has a way of raising it...

7" wide I think. If not, then they're 7.5", no wider than that. They're Ford fitment, so ET38 or so, but I'm running 20mm spacers and longer bolts, so they're now ET18 or thereabouts. Either way, they fit properly and don't catch anywhere, although I've not had a car full with them on.

With spacers they do, I have a set of 18's from my Focus that I am seriously tempted to fit to the 406 after I couldn't sell them :(
