I'm not into show cars but I so much prefer matt black paintwork to matt black vinyl. Sorry, Nath - I'm feeling in a Simon Cowell mood.

Will do mate, but best to speak to him directly re costs, all i will say is he's very reasonable compared to other people I've spoken to about carbon

i dont imitate.......... ok i lied it was only a black primer  

I hunted the web for a decent engine cover and eventually gave up and modified the STD engine cover to accept the new intake.
I saw a few posts on here regarding modifying the std cover but after seeing pics of illektronik's bay i decided it was the best way to go, like illektronik i cut out the air box section but i spent a bit of time plastic welding a section on the side to finish it off rather than leaving it exposed. I also spent a bit time trying to securing it better but in the end went with some good old velcro  

Not sure if i like the engine cover in green to be honest but it will have to do for now, also colour coded the slam panel and expansion bottle (as my other one isnt finished)

[Hurdy]

You need some sort of visual line on the expansion bottle to see the fluid don't you. Okay, I check mine every time I open the bonnet (OCD ahoy! )
