Yep, thats on the list of things to do, was looking at the clear ones but I like the smooth look better :thumleft:

Thinking about asking very nicely for a set of rev6 front light from Rogue for Xmass too think they'le suit? :-k

I think they'd suit but since yours is quite butch :lol: I think the stock ones are fine. Not sure if the Rogue ones would look as good on yours as a stock example if you know what I mean? Just questioning whether its worth the investment but obviously is your choice :thumleft:

Which kit(s) are you going to go for? Coolant, turbo or ancilliary?

Its the only thing I have left to do, except for some chroming 8)

All of them :lol: as time and funds allow, except I think the turbo kit has joiners for the intercooler which Im not sure I can use with the Greddy?

Starting off with the vac' lines as they are pretty simple and then coolant ones, I think they do an induction pipe too no?

Still trying to decide whether to paint of chrome the rocker cover etc..

Yeh the turbo kit includes the stock section of pipe - the long rubber thingy :lol: so not worth it with an aftermarket IC. Only annoying thing with the coolant hoses is that it doesn't replace the big one that goes up to the filler cap - the most seen one :lol: #-o Still the rest should look good. Yeh you can get the induction pipe, probably for about £150 :lol: I think you're looking at £450-500 for all of that 8-[

I going to (eventually) chrome the rocker cover, rear heatshield, turbo heashield (when I've made it fit the ct26 holes), easy to clean and should look nice against the neutral body colour 8)

My x-brace is chromed already, think I picked it up for £45 :D

My folks know somewhere localish to Guildford I think, could batch produce it :lol: I'm gonna need to pop along to James and pick up these parts on loan and swap them with mine at some stage...

I just put the rev6 front lights on the TRD - fantastic quality kit and improved lighting. Makes the front look much meaner. I'd be a yes. :)

Painting the pipe up tonight to tidy it up and the shield has been given a good going over with Autosol and is now gleaming.

Going for a white and chrome theme in the engine bay what do you guys think?
