They exhaust trims or do you have an exhaust system on it?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Just a few pictures from yesterday, me and dad decided to go out for a drive and it was a stunning day! As you can see he owns a 58' plate cup in French racing blue. His car looks incredible with his recent wheel refurbishment.
