An Engine Bay Thread

I know but it's too bloody cold mate

ive just taken mine off with the charge pipe, the missus isnt happy with them in the kitchen,

mines all coming out again soon for the k04 treatment
should look pretty in there too when ive finished, removing everything i dont need and possibly getting it sprayed in there

Tsk Tsk, could you not get an engine cover with the weave of the carbon going the same way as the charge pipe bracket?

Ha Ha I'm going to put that one at the back and then do one going the right way

The only picture I have of my bay. Usually is reasonably clean, looks dirtier in the picture tbh.

pics of mine in it's current state (needs a clean)
