I found some part numbers online and found that they worked out to £102 each. I almost made the plunge but then spoke to a mate who had used Foliatec Exhaust Spray on his X5.
It cost £31 delivered. The product contains primer and hardener included. I sprayed the tips with 6 coats each and then left for 7 days to harden as per the instructions.

I'm very pleased with the results and it looks good with the black gloss diffuser. The bottom piece of the diffuser will go on once I've had the backbox modified by PCW. to finish the back end off, I'm looking to get a gloss black M Performance Pro Style spoiler and also thinking of a light smoke tint to the tail lights to give it that "shadow" look.
Few pictures below (the one showing the underneath angle - they are water droplets from the exhaust not paint droplets!)

How did you get the tips off? Are they not welded on?
Thanks
