I am prepared to take a chance and order these exhaust trims. Once received, I can post my comments on quality, ease of fitting etc on Scirocco Central and SciroccoNet. By copy to hkb5variant, a couple of questions please:
- are the tail pipe trims individual or joined and what exactly is the method of fitting?
- do you know if UK VAT is payable?

The tail pipe trims are individual
Each piece is installed by clamping 3 bolts on stock pipe, easy fitting
No need to pay UK VAT as it will be declared as x'mas gift valued at USD12 only.

Thanks for the prompt reply. My only concern is the 3 bolts and how they will look. I originally thought your trims slipped onto the standard pipes fairly tightly but it now looks as if they must be quite a bit larger in diameter for the tightened bolts to be flush on the trims?

Yes, the pipes would look bigger after installed.
