thanks nath :D

Yeah the strip needs to come off and be put on properly too cause it flaps a bit at one end.
It's just a reflection and there's still water sitting in there. I only washed it 5 minutes before hand.

All up its cost me just shy of a grand so far including the price of the intercooler.
Still waiting on the bov, some t clamps from America and a few silicone bends.
