Spraying 318d MSport Exhaust Tip

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me as I wasn't able to find my answer through searches

I want to spray my Exhaust tip to black this weekend to match my diffuser as it has turned into a nasty/dirty dark grey

Any one know how I can take it off to give it a good clean before spraying?

Thanks in advance

i know the 330D exhaust tips are just "interference fit" meaning they just require alot of force to come off.

not sure if the 318D ones are the same, but i would imagine they are (because you get black tipped ones on special editions).

You'll probably find it has a small torx screw holding it onto the tailpipe - undo that and the tip should pull off, then try some bug and tar remover, or autosmart tardis or equivalent to get all the tar spots off, then give it a sand over and you should be good to paint.

I am pretty sure they have to be cut off and new ones welded on. One of mine is a mess,,looking to replace them with either black chrome or carbon fibre when I get some cash to throw at the car
