cheers. The little thing to do with emissions that puts warm air in the manifold when its cold, is this needed??? I been told you can take it off??
Put a pipercross induction kit on last night, sounds mint.

nah you dont need it, well as far as i know, i dont have it on mine, but i got a 4-2-1 into decat lol.
imo i wouldnt do it red, i did mine white and blue cos my car is arden blue, but i thought it looked bit ott, theres some people on here with nice examples of red ones but i would just go with some dark subtle colours.
this is mine, but 1.6, exactly same tho


also the cambelt cover done in black

looks well mate, but if you have removed the motor thing, how comes you still have that silver round thing on top of the manifold??
