Mini Update First off.....Thought I'd add a wee bit more air flow to the CAI so added some ducting via the fog grill which goes through to the right area where it's needed. Started off by buying a pair of cheap fog grills from eBay, a 80mm Air Inlet Ducting Funnel and some 500mm long x 80mm wide heat resistant Ducting from Ramair. I've no real idea if this will help (or hinder) so next time I go see Niki at R-Tech I'll get his opinion on this.
I cut the hole out and removed some of the honey cone effect pieces, glued the funnel in place and added the ducting. I've also painted the fog grills in gloss black (still need to apply a few layers of lacquer though), looks better IMO.....
And........Hydro DippingI had a few other bits Hydro dipped that I had been meaning to do for ages. As always I sourced extra parts as I never like to use my OEM parts in case I ever decide to return the Mistress to standard. The interior parts were painted in the same Dark Grey paint as before followed by the Carbon Effect dip, the one used for these 3 parts was
CF012.
I also had my spare set of Mirror casings dipped but in a slightly different Carbon Fibre effect that has a much deeper gloss applied, C/F dip used was
CF05-DG. As before the mirrors need reprinting in a Dark Grey and then the C/F dip applied followed by the said Deep gloss lacquer. Still a marmite mod to some but the chav in me loves it, not the cheapest thing I've done either but the quality is incredible.
As with the original parts I had done i used
Hydro-Graffix, they're based in Maidstone and the main man is Adrian.

HeatshieldAs the REVO intake I have doesn't come with a heatshield for the exhaust manifold (which bothered me) I bought one from
Garage Midnight recently as I spotted one on their site. Same as the EVOMS one, just a wee bit cheaper, so a win win.

Spayed it Matt Black with VHT paint so it doesn't stick out too much in the bay. Fitted, thanks to Si (

Also bought a complete genuine .:R32 bum, few plans for this but that for a latter date!
