No worries. How much is not cheap lol?

well the battery cover is £38 but then you need the s3 battery tray and surround which is another £40 unless you want to adapt your battery cover, and the coolant cover is around £60, but its hard to fill up the washer fluid without taking it off everytime unless you buy the s3 washer bottle which is another £30 lol, but there is not many/any LCR's with these covers on, i wanted to be different and it makes the bay look alot cleaner imo :D

Not cheap then!:lol: yeah it def different and looks a lot cleaner I've wanted to do it for awhile now i think there are some on here that have done it but not very many. I think I could live without the battery cover tbh but might go for the washer bottle cover as it's that area that bothers me the most. Cheers mate.

Jeepers that pipework looks tight but i welcome the amount of alloy piping in it.Nice car mate, are they aftermarket builds in you fog lights? and where did you get a 5.5l washer bottle, i really really need one of these for my WMI.

Well done.

Pipework is tight but hold's boost great, hid's in the fog lights (purely for picture) ;) and the washer bottle is off an audi s3 (8l) theres a few breaking on the bay if not the about £30 from audi but not easy to fit lol

Cool, do you have any pic of the washer bootle without the cover or install pics?, i wonder does it leave much space down there for pipework etc...

Really liking the bay mate - those covers make things look really neat - its a very minimal style that youve gone for and different to most Ive seen (which are still nice, just a bit more flash). This one seems like its going to get a lot done to it in a short space of time. lucky you :)

Where did you get the 90 degree elbows from? Or did you modify the 45's? Car looks good though mate, like the S3 covers.

From tx autosport i asked for 4x90 degree hoses instead of 2x45 and 2x90 hoses when i brought the fmic, you could email him and he may exchange them for you? worth a try;)
And thanks, the car looks alot better in the flesh im just not very handy with a camera nor do i have a good one lol
