Looks spot on!

I noticed your headlights are steamed up as well.

Mine have done the same over the past few months, hopefully removing & re-sealing them this weekend.

i have found that it comes and goes the drivers side always steamed up but i have taken the cover off that seems to have helped

Looks good mate

Intercooler piping is definitely on my to do list, Looks alot better going down the washer bottle route.
