Nice mate , but why you got all that nasty mesh obstructing a nice clear airflow?

yep - lose the scoop mesh. It's also restricting the airflow to your intercooler (same as those intercooler guards!!)

Rest looks sweet though

Cheers for the comments both good and bad.

Mesh will be gone by the weekend as my handiman is back from holiday

Bartop, when I get bored with it you'll be first on my list mate.

Would like to see a pic of that scoop without the mesh as my Chargespeed one is the same and I'm not sure about it either - alternatively might paint it black but if it really does restrict the airflow like people are saying then it will definately need to go !
