Yeah I was a bit warey of that case, i might get myself one of those k&n dry chargers that fit around the filter to keep it dry. weather that works or not i dont know
 
Got treated by my lady on the random to some pressed plates. I also sold my tt alloys and got some facelift starfish 17" with 4 new tyres for £130! Will also get some pictures of those with a nice good clean when it's sunny. I'll try get some photos of the intetior showing the recaros and my new headunit.
:D
 
Just another quick update with a few snaps of today. Managed to sell my tt alloys, and got my hands on some cupra starfish alloys, all in really good nic, all new/ really good tyres for £130!!! Couldn't resist

Okay, here we are then, another update focused on my engine bay. I also was getting a little worried with my filter being right by the floor with all the rain and damp we've had recently. The filter edge was pretty rusty and gave that a clean too, I then marked up and gave the pipe a chop!!... :)

After that I decided to give the inlet manifold a go at getting it shinny. Still needs work but I ran out of wet & dry sand paper. :/ I think it looks loads better though.

After that I also noticed how grubby the rocker cover was. (If that is the right name for it?) And heres a before and after...

It looks loads better in my opinion, also had a leak from the filter before so sorted that out! feels like a completely different car now haha :).. while the bonnet was up, i cleaned up all the black including pipes, trims and seals, heres that..

A few weeks ago, i brought myself some high temperature paint to do my brakes, I was told by a friend not to spray the callipers as I would then have to start disconnecting pipes then that can lead to unnecessary problems etc etc, so it went to other use.
Sorry for the poor quality, it was dark.

Once I change some of the pipe work to red silicone I think it would look alot better and clean.

Any comments would be nice :) Your opinions ?
