Default Genuine diesel exhaust finishers? DUB100500MMM

Came across these on a diesel breaker and gave them a quick clean..

They do look like the OEM parts (from the very few images of same that I've seen) and the back box it came off looked original too (with original strap in place), but there's a brand embossed into them - Vea, which makes me think maybe they're aftermarket

Although the chrome is "aged" to some spots, they seem to be pretty good quality and the little Allen bolts still work fine after 15 years

If anyone has a set of the OEM diesel finishers (Part No. DUB100650MMM), I'd be interested to see how the two compare.


Cheers,
Karl.

Thanks Ravinder.

Yeah, it seems the genuine items are quite rare, but there's not much info or imagery available on them, so I'm not entirely sure that they're the genuine article or not.

I have a stainless cat-back system on at the moment, and whilst it's fine, I think the two end pipes are too wide for the 75.

These finishers look nice and understated. Took a pic of them on the breaker car before removal..


Cheers,
Karl.

Thanks Keith.

I really ought to send them over to yourself for a proper clean, though

Just spent half an hour on them this evening and they came up ok, but might give them another rub if they're the real deal


Cheers,
Karl.

They are the same fasteners that are on mine, which I have always believed to be OEM. I never looked at them in great detail to be honest, but believe them to have been fitted at a dealer, as they stick out quite far from the bumper. It looks as though the tailpipes were a standard S shape, and the pipes fitted as far onto them as possible (if it was me, I would have cut the tail pipe closer to the box to look like your picture. Unfortunately I cannot go out and take a picture, due to it being a little windy here at the minute

Don’t do that. They’ll end up yellow...

Thanks for the info, Alan

Here's a pic of the steel back box that the finishers came off, which shows how small the steel tailpipes were.. (not completely sure if this is an OEM back box or not, but I think it is).

This results in a nice (limited) showing of the finishers, once fitted (previous pic).


Cheers,
Karl.
