maat - yi i know mate, everything thats under there and thats what everyone gets drawn to, the crap r.cover lol. getting it done in chrome soon.
kneival - yes blue, everything mate, radiater.....the lot. thanks but already purchased mate, should be coming tomorrow. as far as i know there are at least 10 hoses. will post pics when recived. as you are from UK do you know of any places that would chrome my r.cover at a good price and do a good job. best ive been quoted is around £60 just for the r.cover? |

cheers, will post up soon when its all complete. shouldnt be long now. just waiting for custom twin core radiator coming. also need to chnge the gasket from the turbo to the downpipe, what a nightmare.
Cisco - did you have this problem, its blowing like mad and needs to be sorted before its back on road. just 2 bolts that are impossible to get to. |

Hoses look great.
Sorry dont know of anywhere that will chrome the cover. As its alu you could try sand blasting and a polish? Would be a longer lasting finish I should think...? |
