Great job fella. As Ratty said, looks stealth.
Cheers Marc. Yeah, although it's always temping to go as big as possible, I know bigger isn't always better/necessary. So I will be getting her mapped to just the one feed, but out of interest I will be dualing it up in time as I have a bit of an idea and I do want to see the comparison :)

That looks awesome on the car bud!
I'm not very fond of the eyebrows at all though tbh.
could we get pics of it fitted without the eyebrows?

i would carve the eyebrow to the shape m8 ;) is the eyebrow not going to restrict airflow?

why cant it be done to make the dip beam light into both? there must be a way to combine the dip and the high beam in the one hole ;)

then you can do the other side and even it all up :lol: (bloody OCD AHHHHH!!!!!)

That looks awesome bud! :o

Blown everyone away with this little mod me thinks! I do love the eybrows but it does hide some of your handy work. Not that I really care as it's amazing all the same. 8)

Wahoo! Did an amount of work on the project today! A relatively small amount of work, but an amount of work nonetheless :D

I started off by re-directing the custom engine harness through my new slightly more managable, but less obtrusive hole. You can see where it did come through up high and to the right and would have been a far too obvious a placement for my liking here...

Image

But now it's here...

Image

I've also test-fitted the ATR manifold to see how things look... And I'm happy :) ...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

As you can see I've also test fitted a number of intake components to see how that's looking. Direct from the headlight I've fitted a 102mm to 76mm reducer which would enable me run 76mm up to the CDA filter, and just leaves me short of a 76mm 45 degree bend. I've had god knows how many different silicone and aluminium pipes in the past, but keep changing my mind with my desired setup. Before today I had intended on fitting this 102mm bad boy (the blue coily one)...

Image

(The 102mm - 76mm reducer can also be seen there) but as I need a slight run between the CDA and the headlight and this kinks as aposed to flexes it's not going to cut it for me sadly :roll:

So now I intend to run a 102mm straight from the headlight and then merge from 102mm around a 45 degree bend down into 76mm to connect up to the CDA. The new reducer is also going to be a nice gradually taper down as aposed to the almost stepped current one. They will be black as well ;-)

Then next up today was nostrils...

Image

First of all I thought I'd humour Mart and for my own piece of mind try the OEM facelift nostrils. I have an old set currently not on the bar, so I just placed them into postion, hence why they're wonky, but they just don't do anything for me compared to how the Wing West/Azect copy ones look...

Image

Image

Image

Image

So I carved out the copies! 8) ...

Image

Now as you can see I left the little "kick-out" at the bottom where it curves around the CAI as I thought it looked quite FuNKy ;-) , But it the looks odd compared to the standard one on the other side...

Image

So I transferred it across...

Image

Which also now allows a little more full-beam light through, and I need all I can scrape now! :lol: ...

Image

Image

Image

I'm thinking I'll probably end up removing the kick altogether on both of them though now. I'm just not liking how it doesn't go to a point and look cut off, but I'm going to leave it a while to see if it grows on me :)
