    Wow mate that looks nice as! Top job. Did you paint the car yourself? Internationals look great on any car. Thats why you pay so much for them

    Okay i can but my engine bay is an embarrassment.
    I've just done the bottom half white because i added that pvc pipe to it which was white and would have looked odd.

    100mm diameter pipe, he is runing that from the front bumper to his airbox for a better CAI. no heatsoak from the radiator.

    Thanks dude The number plate PHATVN is taken by someone else so bummer

    About the air box i have both VS supercharged CAI as well as the extra pipe I'm adding. What I'm doing is exactly the same as Surfwagons car. However i don't think the modification of the air box in that fashion is legal though.

    I would rather do this all as i hate pods sitting in the corner sucking in hot air.
