now this i like shiney shiney

fitted to the car now will put a pic up soon.
got my apexi power intake and found out it's a (fake) from ebay seller so was mis-sold it, I got it conected to a red silicone reducer 76mm to 70mm which means it will be redundent as the genuine apexi has a 80mm conection.
dump valve makes a wonderful noise through the filter and im not sure if to send it back for a refund or keep it. next up i will be making a heat sheild for it from the guide on here.
the spoiler i orded is out of stock for 4 weeks so no paint as yet. all in all its been a rubish week with the car and to top it all off a bracket on the exhaust has a broken weld and is driving me bananna's with the squeeking with every bump it goes over.:(

evening all got all the boost hoses fitted today apart from the straight 67mm one, god only knows where that fits, also overbraided the other hose that runs from the n75 just waiting for some hose finishers for that one. also fitted braided fuel lines but managed to snap the existing elbows of the car [:@] so need to find thease to finish the job properly.
front cupra r bumper is at the spray shop and will be ready next sat so got to get the guides this week. also brought a set of angel eyes to go with the new front so all is going well will post some pics of my engine bay when home.

Sweet mate!! You'd recommend this guy who did it then mate yeah?
I would love my engine bay to look like that.. I reckon the Inlet could benefit from a polish, and the rocker cover with a repaint.. That would make it sick!:p
