New exhaust (sort of)

The rear number plate panel on my car is abit beaten up after various US and UK number plates and at some point has had a meeting with something solid and concrete. So Before replaceing it I decided to give this ago. I went down to my local exhaust maker yesterday and picked up some offcuts of stainless and some cheapo trim pieces. Afew choice cuts later I'm left with this, I may try getting some slightly longer pieces but I think it looks pretty good, and from what can work out there seems no problems with back pressure etc. I may need that 1720 rebuild though to justify the look
...
Thanks
Chris

Looks good, you rear panel appears to be quite 'thick' what's it made of?

Yeah thats what I thought, it looks that at some time in its life it has been damaged and filled, only for it to be damaged again. There is a crack just under the number plate which I guess is the filler cracking.
As I said I am looking at replacing the panel , having said that I now like the look of the pipes
Thanks

Nothing stopping you cutting a hole in a new panel
Looks better without the chrome trims I reckon

The raw stainless pipe has a nice blue heat colouring to it already
Think I'll get some longer pieces and see how it looks. There is now a 'throatier' exhaust note to.
Thanks

Gets my vote
looks like a neat install. I really like the look of the 2 pipes a bit closer together like that.

Looks like they've left the bracket on for a rotisserie/jig.
I like stingers though.
