C219 exhaust tips

[Peterbrake]

The chrome exhaust tips on my 2013 CLS 250 AMG line S/B have corroded can anyone point me in the right direction for some non OEM ones please.
Thanks in advance

With some elbow grease and autosol you can get them looking pretty decent again

Tried it not happy

Try the bay of E then

As above eBay or Alli Express will sell non OE tips.
Don't be surprised at the poor quality though. They will be Chinese products with wafer thin chrome plating.

some non OEM ones please

What's wrong with the OE ones?

Can they be sent away to be re-chromed?

 

[Peterbrake]

Thanks for the advice,
I have searched and searched eBay but there are so many types and I can’t find the correct ones. I haven’t priced OM parts but I am guessing they will be very expensive and I think having them re-chromed would also be expensive.

Or powder coated?

Or powder coated?

Yup, I have thought of having mine powdercoated in Black

Don’t really want to go down the powder coat route, I want to stay stock, I guess I’ll just have to keep searching.

Find a chromers then and send them off

Are you totally sure, they won't Polish up? Here's mine of my 2011 C207. Came up great with a lot of elbow grease, using Solvol Autosol, apparently Kitchen foil dipped in water works well, although never tried it.

I did the same with mine, came up a treat although there is some pitting on the rolled edge

They have come up great, given me inspiration to have another go with a bit more elbow grease.
