Your turbo is such a dominating factor to your bay, its like a work of art the way its laid out! When will we see this wee lady running 2 bar? :)

Before the Summer is out I hope :)

You thaught about putting a turbo jacket on that beast would look good :)

Yes, its on the shopping list... But its not the major priority :)

Cheers Phil...



So....


Wipped the front bumper off today to sort something that's been bugging me for years!


The top lip on a varis fucks me off. Nothing Mounts to it. When bonnets closed it ruins the front look of the car.


You cant get to the turbo/filter assembly. Its just in the way! So I decided to take the bumper off and sort it!

Amazing as always mate! Cannot wait to perv over it again!

Cheers Josh! Roll on JAE huh!

All the polished parts look really good mate . would look even better if you repainted and smoothed out the holes in the bay

Cheers Lew! This is on my list of things to do to be honest. The engine may even be coming out over winter to clean up and refresh the engine bay...

Lovely work Matt!

How did you polish the cooler? (Autosol or Megs Metal polish I assume, but method?) It looks superb!

I have a mate who is a professional polisher...

Check them out, very reasonably priced....

Looks mechanically polished to me, who ever done it did a good job.

Try a bit of brake cleaner in on the fins tho bud it'll take off any excess compound.

Correct it was...

I did clean the fins up... just didn't snap a photo lol

Who did the intercooler cleaning? Mine needs doing so bad.

:)

you said you were going to cut it when i bought your hdi intercooler off you.. it does look better but its a genuine item "/ :p

Rob.

I've improved it. Genuine or not... Its not going anywhere... Its staying on my car :)

Looking very nice and clean, but I agree with Lew, a nice clean and filling in of the unused bolt holes will make it look a lot better :)

Cheers Matt. All in good time my mate!

Fibreglass Bootlid. For anyone that's ever picked up a standard bootlid, knows full well how heavy they are, there a joke!


This thing weighs under 5kg :)
