Composite bonets are about saving weight, not looking cool!

Get it painted if your that fussed!

Ironic thing is, most carbon roofs are just a sticker, so no function to it at all!

Agree with tubbs, looks really chavvy!

your car looks great as it is, dont ruin it with fast and furious tat.
its a downhill slope to a wrc sticker set and fake roof vent

Yehhh wrc stickers no way!!!! Want proper roof vent but looking down line of £500 for real one... So not atm..
Next jobs anyway are
Hybrid fmic
Big induction
Bc coilovers
Then mapp again.. Induction got atm is holding it back abit so bigger one with new mapp should be 440/400 hopefully

so a real roof vent is the same price as that bonnet

spend it on a harvey hdi front mount, this will also solve your induction problem as you have to remove the airbox to fit the pipe work.

Yehh was just seeming if there's any out there.. Waiting for Harvey to get back to me.. He's out of stock atm.. I have typhoon cold air atm but to small for power I'm running.. So looking at rcm induction when I do front mount.. You fit yours yourself tommy? Or get Harvey to do it?

tubbytommy

fitted myself, i think you may need to look at the kit supplied as the induction cone is in the inner wing due to pipework so not sure rcm kit will fit.
harvey supplies the cones too.

if your near harvey id suggest you get it fitted as its not easy to do and requires cutting bumper bar with angle grinder.

Your engine bay looks good mate..
What pipe you got for the induction??
Yeh he's 2hour drive from me. Want to get it off him first as thinking of powder coating the pipes first. Then might drive up to him for him to do it.

the maf tube goes into the inner wing where the airbox used to be and has a cone filter on the end supplied by harvey with the fmic kit.

im going to get the cold side powder coated, i asked harvey about this and he said to leave the hot side as it is.

Yehh but look bit daft IMO if only one pipe coated... So not sure.. Car is off road for a while now so I can save bit of cash do do all these bits I want.. Want to spend some money on getting engine bay looking good

the turbo side pipe goes underneath the car and is hardly visable.

look at the pic, its not like a lot of fmic's

Yehh was just looking... Not sure what colour to go for under bonnet... My favourite couloir is pearlescent purple but not sure how it would look....

Might be worthwhile to get it coated for a bit of added protection.

tubbytommy

its goes under the engine but is still under the engine cover so its not exposed as such.
