Those were my thoughts against having it a dark colour too Mike.
Still might paint it though, we'll see how it looks once its all fitted up

Little tiny update,
Took off my rear towing eye, bead blasted and then painted red. This should match my new front one well and have got a couple of "tow" graphics to suit too.
I quite like it


Will post some fitted pics tomorrow

Some of you may remember me making the billet fire extingusher bracket that mounted on the front of my passenger seat.
Well at a Time Attack event a few weeks back i gave the bracket away to someone who needed it to pass scruteneering, i let em keep it.
So ive just made a new one, with a few nicer details, i'll fit it tomorrow.

No real updates today...
Although i fitted a brand new set of wheel arch liners today of which i reinforced with 3M fibreglass fabric on the back of the weak areas.
Im also still not happy with how the filter on the APS intake fouls on the charge pipe. After comparing the filter with my previous AEM dryflow ive decided im gonna go back to the dryflow element. Its better constructed than the APS and is dry and not oiled. I much prefer the dry setup to the oiled APS element. Helps prevent MAF failure too.
So i contacted a guy i know that manufactures silicone hoses for the p[rototype car intustry and he is going to make me a bespok hose for me to connect the AEM filter to the APS intake.
The hose will also bend at 45 degrees and mount the filter in a nice big cavaty behind the foglight port hole.
