Chrome exhaust tips

I'm looking to replace both exhaust tips on my 2007 325i e93. The original ones that are on there are metallic silver not chrome.

Has anyone fitted new chrome tips? My old e46 had chrome tips and it looked much better over painted silver ones.

I've had a look on realoem and BMW do not sell chrome tips just "alu look" items.

This is the finish of the new BMW ones:

I asked this a while back as I was after some for mine too (2008 N53 330i), but people suggested some aftermarket cut and weld tips from the likes of Powerflow.

But if there are slip-on chrome tips that replace ones the OP has mentioned it would be nice.

I replaced mine with a pair of push-fit slip on chrom tips. Under £20 from ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Chrome-...AAAOSw3ZRZAGXW

These were a perfect fit and look fantastically fresh. (325i coupe n52)

Did you have to take the old ones off or did they slip on over them ??

Old ones pulled off fairly easily. Got a good grip on them, slowly pulled and twisted and they came off.
