Stop winging you 
Been a busy boy tonight and plumbed in the cooler and fitted a new 70mm APS cold air intake.
Just a few relocations left to do, refit my ACT sensor and my Clifford siren needs a new home.
Need to make a black for the DV take off too.
Sorry for the crap phone pics but at least you can see my progress.

Honestly mate. Even by my standards... its beautifully made and very well engineered.
The only part that niggles me is the limited space between the air filter and the charge pipe mounted in the OSwing.
Other than that its absolutely stunning.

Dude, looking sweet. I'm thinking about a Process West FMIC and oil cooler for the future but i do like the APS stuff though. Oh and on another note, i drove the Ring at the weekend and it was possibly one of the coolest things i've done. You inspired me man, you're like my frickin idol bro

Indeedy, it will be either silver, black or gunmetal.
Making up a stainless boss to weld on to my cold pipe today. This will be tapped for my ACT sensor.
I also noticed a crack in one of my wheel arch liners so ive ordered 2 new ones, they will then be trimmed to fit around the boost pipes and end tanks.
Then relocate a few parts and wait to get my bumper back. A spot of mapping and it will be all gravy.
Actually quite excited now

My ACT sensor was tapped into my old cooler.. i needed to tap the cold side of my pipework.
So i made a stainless boss and tig welded it on to house the sensor. This in about 1" before the throttle body on the underside of the pipework, shame you wont see it really as i think it looks pretty sweet
