Got my exhaust tips fixed day-before-yesterday night,and after a water wash yesterday,took few photos of my car.
Had a tough time to fix them,as the length has to be compensated as the spare wheel holder is almost blocking the way of the left pipe.
This was the 99% approximation of the tips and I am happy with the work done.[:D]

Nice but it would have been better if the hole was not bigger , the extra gap surrounding the tips is making it bad!


How about waxing your car?

Yes,that gap will be made out by either painting around the exhaust tips or by having a mesh like the SL 55 AMG. My car used to be given a wax polish once a year or so.Next polish would be done in few months after getting my tyres changed.

Bad news for my Bridgestone tyre,it had some trouble,and had a huge bulge on the running thred-side. So,had to change it or drive without a spare tyre.
I didn't want to take risk,and my tyres have crossed over 47,000 kms,and 3 tyres are in running condition.
So,went to Goodyear,Michelin store and got quote,but,Michelins were not available till 22nd January.So, the option was either Goodyear or Yokohama,and went to Yokohama,got the quote,and after test drive,the suspension ball joint,ends were weak,and they are to be changed next monday(fixed appointment at Hyundai).Got my tyres changed to 185/70/R 14 Yokohama A-drive tyres. The reason for not choosing 195/60 is that i have faced many punctures and frequently reducing tyre pressure on the right side tyres. Now,trying the 70 profile,and slightly less wider tyres.
