Hi guys,

I've cut a hole in my side panel for my exhaust to sneak through. It's not the ugliest hole in the world to be fair looks quite well, but... I've seen a few cars knocking about with a black (poss carbon) panel that surrounds the manifold as it passes through the body.
They are rectangle in shape and I would like one very much

If you put a bit of U trim around this makes gaping holes look much neater, how about a crafted bit of thin ali polished up?

maybe a stainless gear lever surraund typr of thing

nice thin polished ali me thinks

Or both lie mine.
Ali for the hole u trim for the SVA, and it's still on 4 years on!

I'm assuming that you've got fibreglass panels? You could make some ali trim with extra material inside the hole, make up a former from wood, drill rivet holes and screw it to the wood, then bang down the insides of the trim with a rubber hammer to 90 degrees. Remove from the wood, the tap thin inside edges over a bit more.

I did something similar when I changed from over the rail exhaust to through the side panel, just this was a bit of a larger patch
