looks good to me only thing I would of done slightly different is to leave the air intake black as it draws the eye a bit too much, but other then that I like it

It can't go back to the way it was in the first pic because I had to remove my standard air box to fit my inner wing induction kit

I don't mind the little red bits myself,
it's just the painting of the snorkel that
kills it for me.

is the snorkel actually doing anything now as i assume you have an inner wing induction cone, so surely you have removed the airbox in the wing anyway.
also you have drilled a hole on the fog cover so this is feeding the filter now.

If you like it mate that's all that really matters, people's opinions are 10 a penny. One thing I did notice was that I could not see a clamp on the battery have you got another means of securing it?

The "bling" was meant to be a joke.
The snorkel isn't doing anything at all. Only put it back on to fill the space left by removing the airbox. I have a cold air feed from the fog cover and my filter sits behind it.

There isn't a clamp on the battery, need to get that sorted
