Tidying up my engine bay?
« on: 13 January 2013, 22:05 »
Ok so I had my coilovers fitted the other day and GolfySte said I had pipe work fitted which on his turbo aren't there anymore. Does anyone have guides to what can be removed to make it look neater and less cluttered under the bonnet? I've heard about deleting pipes but no idea which ones? My bad  :embarrassed:

I've started to tidy up my engine bay too, it makes working on anything under the bonnet that much more painless.

Agreed, there is so much that needs removing before you're able to even begin what it is you set out to do on a standard mk4 engine bay  :laugh:

This was how mine was to begin with


And after
