Hi guys, was wondering if yous could help me out on a few points.

My parents have just picked up a 62 plate RR Sport HSE SDV6 yesterday. They are very pleased with the car however, there are a few things they would like to change about the car.

Number one,the car has the little leds 'spots' in rings as per the pic below when the sidelights/headlights are on. They would like these to be on permanently, is there a way this can be done?

Your dealer can programme your lights to come on when your ignition is switched on, but your rear lights will also be on. you can't just have your front signature LED's on.
Exhausts, this is one of the reasons i went for the full factory autobiography kit i didn't like the look of the two tail pipes just sitting there

The dealer said their equipment wouldn't allow them to do this. We smelled bullshit tbh. We're wondering if there were any local specialists that would be able to do this for us (west of scotland area)?

My parents weren't keen on the kit, they'd just like something to make them looks shiney once the newness wears off the plain mild steel tailpipes  RR Sport

The cheapest fix would be as you've suggested above, fit chrome tailpipes, or a lot more expensive option would be to have an Overfinch rear bumper and tailpipes fitted, or get the rear exhaust boxes made out of stainless steel, a decent stainless steel exhaust manufacturer could do this for you, i believe site sponsor Amd do such things.

For the rear you should probably fit these from Hawke if you don't want to do the whol rear bumper change $$$

Nice tailpipes  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Strathearn Engineering

Not exactly west of scotland, but probably the closest to you that has the equipment to do the job for you

OK that strathearn place is a bit of a trek. Anybody know anybody closer to home? RR Sport

The people near Stirling are GEMM, at Larbert and they can work on any Land Rover product but don't do bodywork.
For the exhausts you can get bolt on tips that look like straight out stainless but actually have exits on the bottom of them. Had them on my TDv8

There are plenty of aftermarket tailpipes available for the RRS, have a search on google. With regards to the Autobiography ones, I have always been unsure of the large metal bit with a round hole in the middle in the tailpipe. In my mind would look much better without the cetral metal and just a square hole in the tailpipe. Like the older HST tailpipes were.
