Have a look in 'post pictures of your engine bay' mate, seen some nice ones in there my fave was someone did their pipes, manifold and strut bar pink and it looked wicked IMO!

can i just say yum and yum again! OEM looking! Only way that could look any more **** would be if the silicon pipes where white! But then its not so cleaning friendly! Not that that will be a problem for you bud, that engine bays spotless!

Yes it one of Harveys. I cant see a problem with cutting the pipes after its pretty durable.

did you have your fmic powdercoated as well? or what did you use?

on my old fmic, i used a etch primer, and a mat spray, and it has picked up alot of stone chips in about 8 months
