Removing Exhaust tips on an SQ8 ?
 
Does anyone now whether the tips can be removed without taking off the rear diffuser or bumper ??

Very easy 5 minutes job. Just 2 bolts on each side accessible from below. To make it easier just lift up the car on the highest level. No need of any diffuser removal.

On 75% they are silver. You can buy black aftermarket but the price is crazy. The best solution is to remove them and paint. Even with the plasti dip. There is no high temperature.

Yes , thanks that was the reason I asked about access , IF , I go for the SQ8 I definitely will paint the tips gloss black ...........................thank you

Here are black tips. These tips were originally silver and were painted black. As you see the price is very high.
