Haha that's what I was thinking.

Can you buy new coolant reservoir's for these engine bays? Possibly clear ones?

I find the stock ones just plain ugly!

**VSIIBerlinaL67** · 18-04-2009, 09:24 PM

mine.....

**pjdm1980** · 18-04-2009, 10:24 PM

Blower looks good in stealth paint!!!

**HRVATSKI_VOJNIK** · 15-06-2009, 11:10 AM

it works best if you paint the bay the same color as the car

Did you see any gains in cutting away the front of the CAI?

Yeah I did, it is a bit more responsive at speed and has a bit better sound when you tickle the throttle a bit harder. Thanks to Thongy for the idea and pics of how to

Also an update have settled on a scheme and implemented it.
