Default K5 Front Downpipe

Looking to replace the front downpipe on my bike with a better looking one (It has fallen victim to rust with previous owners!)

Needs to be a standard downpipe in good condition, money is waiting

What he's trying to say is that it isn't rust.

Downpipes are made of stainless steel, so will polish up no problem.

If really bad, then a bit of wire wool/emery cloth

So the money me and Nobby have saved you, that's at least 2 beers each

I was trying to remember the product that gets them clean without too much effort.

Opiglanz is what you want

Spray on, rinse off, polish with Autosol

I have some optiglanz never opened if you're interested. I never used it as I sprayed the downpipe black so I'd never have to clean it
