no pm mate?

[Wazzzer]

there is now sorry, forgot to send it 

[Wazzzer]

got myself some matt black vinyl from ebay for a couple of quid and have just covered the visible intercooler pipe with it, worked a treat 





Will be fitting it back on tomorrow and also seeing if I can shove the intercooler back a bit if I cut some of the front panel away 

Realised I don't have any pics of the plate welded on the MAP sensor boss so took one while the pipe is in front of me



Hopefully have it back on tomorrow

[Wazzzer]

Pipe is back on and looks loads better





I managed to cut away a bit of the front panel and gave the intercooler a good shove backwards, probably only gained 5mm but it's enough to get the grille on properly

Speaking of which I've trimmed up the grille as well but I left my camera at work so no pics as yet.

a lot better black and will barely be noticeable once the grill is

does look a good clean fit that too

[Wazzzer]

Cheers mate. Yeah it's a good fit, well worth paying the extra over the eBay coolers if you want to keep it looking standard IMO. It looks a bit rough near the pipe but none of that will be visible once the grille is in. Just test fitted it and it's spot on now, will get a pic in the morning

Looks loads better with the pipe black.

cheers mate, best bit is it only cost £4 delivered for the vinyl and about 20 mins of my time

Cheap mods / fixes are always the best ones.

I was thinking about spraying it first but with this stuff being so cheap now and so easy to fit it was a no brainer. It won't flake off either
