No sorry, infact noticed your avatar along with others doesnt even show, nor does your sig.

Its obviously a restriction at work but am curious to why do most of the dubababes pics show.

Oh well if you guys have more pics put them up, will view once I get home - thanks again for your efforts!

Don't spose anybody knows the part number or has a spare they wanna sell, the bit I'm after is the plastic cover bit over the manifold intake wiv the grooves in for the HT leads to sit in. Not sure of the correct name for it

Ok just had a look at the pics so that means I only need that short metal or plastic pipe thing? Not that longish plastic pipe? What about all the bits? It looks like its really easy just to slap that induction kit on but all the bits in the box and instructions make it look like its some serious work!

So all I need is that short bit as per the pics and the 2 silver clips and the rubber bit for the cold intake?

All smoke and no poke with these, plus mine gets me holla'd at as people think your going twice as fast with all the noise!

Did you feel as if it had any more power though? I do like a bit of noise hehehe I mean it helps if you have a decent sized engine and brand in the first place like a 2litre 16v GTi instead of a 1.2 Clio or Vauxhall Corse *shudders*

Mines only the 8v, to be hoenst, it doesnt feel any more powerful, but say you stick in 2nd and floor it too 60, over 3000 rpm it soudns awesome, then change to 3rd and do the same to 80/90/100 it sounds awesome. But then again, i drive like a nob.

But as for performance, really is no difference, few bhp extra maybe, but not noticable.

Ok fair dues, the thing is you see many people with a backbox with loads of noise from their car but it goes nowhere fast which is a joke.
 I aint the one looking for tons of noise but wasnt expecting an induction kit to sound like a supercharger lol.

Well looks like I will have a go on the weekend.

Just want to confirm something though, see all the bits you got in the box? From the pics I take it you only used the 2 silver clips, short metal pipe which goes into cone and the other end into air intake on existing engine and the rubber pipe?

The rest of the stuff like longish plastic pipe and all them bits are useless?
