Car looks nice mate.

I cant see how a universal ebay cooler is performing better than the laguna set up tho

I think its because the laguna intercooler is so thin and the pipes go in from the back making a right angle which restricks the flow alot, the universal is alot thicker at he pipes come out ether side so a better flow? thats what i think anyway. same as when every1 replaces the turbo intake pipe for a forge tip, thats got a bad angle on it.
plus i liked the look of the universal intercooler, it looks alot better! gets alot more looks

Yeh i see what you saying mate. But i would have thought a thiner cooler will cool quicker as the airs getting through it quicker. But as said they do look alot better than the laguna ones.

Car looks goos either way tho mate ;)

looks good real nice

but why didn;t you relocate the fusebox when fitting the cover? Now you got a nice cover and engine bay but a big ugly plastic fusebox messing with the view...
its a piece of cake...look at myki's old thread of his car and it shows tehre...it will look so much better

well each their own I just wouldn't leave it there.

As for having a big chrome piece in your face...your engine is pretty shiny as a whole lol!
