Re: cupragavs LCR progress thread ***engine bay started ***

Another little update, while i was up spring fest managed to stumble acros a bargain, which are the intercooler hoses and the tip. And have also made a trip to see D.K for a polished charge pipe, and i have painted a few bits in gloss black i.e the engine cover, battery cover and the little cover down the front. Its not alot i know but its a start

looks good Gav, those hoses are a bargain compared to Forge etc, half the price means can buy twice as much and without compromising quality :) think we need to bash him for a bigger discount next time though ;)

Ah they are long gone. Had to make way for bigger better ones. You not like the new ones then?

Whole hog? Hmmm depends what you mean by this lol. It looks like you get to a certain stage on the engine bay and there isn't much to do after that. Yours is looking nice I see aswell
