The original the exhaust is located to close to the edge of the bumper and would be blowing on the new ondertray, so the end tube has to be curved differently.
LR does this by cutting the pipes just in front of the end boxes and replacing them with new end boxed with differently curved tips.
I had to find a way to make the hot gasses escape more to the center of the car through the designated holes in the undertray.
I have shortend the original endpipe with an angle grinder, so I had a 45* angled stump pointing down.
Then I shove the shortened angle tubes over the cut exhaust and clamped it in place pointing down and 45* to the center of the car.
You do have to grind a longitudinal slit in the tube so you can compress it with the clamps onto the exhaust!
Now I have presented the undertray, marked the lenght of the tube and cut the tube so it is flush with the undertray.
Mounting the undertray
You have to release two parker screws on the original bumper, in the middle, and one on each side just behind the rear wheel.
Now partialy mount the trays with them.
clean the lower section of the bumper with the included degreaser.
On the left and right part there is an adhesive 3M strip.
Next to the adesive strip you have to apply the glue, TEC7 in my case.
now press it to the bumper and fit the two remaining bolts to the chassis bracket.
The same for the other side.
Now you can mount the centre piece with 6 large plastic screws.
I left the glue to dry for 2 days to be shure everything was propperly fixed

I just thought of something
What does the rear section of the exhaust costs?
If your end boxes are shot and the large pipes under the axle are in good condition, you might as well buy the bodykit end boxes which are likley cheaper then the complete pipes.

Quite like it too.
Can the removable tow hitch still be fitted with this style of rear bumper ?I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Very nice and cleans the backend up a bit. Quite fancy something like that myself, although it would make using the airjack interesting.

@RONP
Tow bar no problem, you just remove the center panel with the same type of plastic screws as the bumpercover
@DISCOWEX
Rear lights are slightly tinted to blend in with the rest of the car.
Before tinting two ovals decals 13cm by 12cm were sticked onto the light clusters and pulled off afterwords.
This accentuates the round design of the reflectors and make it less gangsta!
@JKP
Airjack might work, the tips are only decoration the real exhaust blows down just behind them.05 TDV6 HSE AUTO 7seats, tonga green/alpaca, alpine roof, privacy glass, tow kit, wood kit, 20" stormers n summer, 18" in winter, fancy exhausts, rear seat ent., club fooked turbo!

You can order it from LR
The centre section is around £70 and each side exhaust finisher is about £90 Each
