Polished Pipes Or Black?

[E.ZTRBO]

I recently had a quote done for my fg f6 I have ordered and noticed that the piping for the engine and plenum where all in black or not polished when I asked for a quote they told me that recently there customers had been complaining of trouble from the boys in blue when they were pulled over. I love the look of a detailed engine bay and think it adds a special touch but cant be stuffed with all the crap from the cops if I get pulled over and dont want them to have another reason to book with me something. I dont drive stupidly on the roads as I am against it and think there is a time and place for it but has anyone had problems like this and could you give me an idea of whats has happened.

Thanks

Chances are if that is your view/driving style you would be like me.. Only pulled over for random breath test or booze/drugs bus etc... This would mean you wouldn't really ever have them looking under your bonnet in the first place

Never have I had any issues or sideways looks from any police, even when my tread was getting to the wear indicators or driving lights on.

I've had them standing around my car one night for at least 4-5min at a booze bus after blowing under the limit because of a broken down bomb that stalled and couldn't restart in front of the car ahead of mine... no mention of anything, they looked at my rego and that was all.

That being said, I would still go black.. I love the stealth thing and still see it just as good to clean/look after as a polished engine bay.

I reckon black piping with black silicon joiners looks better than polished piping with the blue silicon joiners... the all black just looks so much neater...
