How have you got on with ur charge pipe

Not had a chance to try it yet ( is there a guide anywhere) only got my car back this week from getting the roof running strip sorted but the guy has made a mess of spraying it and fixing a few cracks, so not very happy at the moment and trying to his this sorted out before anything else.

Got a few bits for my LCR (Thanks Paul26982) that i want to spray maybe brake up the red that i have at the moment in the engine bay was thinking maybe white or sliver for the bits shown in the picture will be using "spray" paint this time but want it to be as bright as "brush" paint any recommendations what spray paint to use, is Halfords stuff ok???

personally i would say black boss... break that red up nicely... and then you can swap red and black bits in/out til you find something you like

I would get paint thats high temp resistant tbh, and halfords do that.

The Black will be my plan B (safe bet) if it all goes wrong and looks a mess but want something little different.

Well yesterday went to a few spray garages to get a few quote to see if they car redo the **** work someone else has done (total different shade of yellow) to what’s on the car and they all said it’s a shocking job really needs to be re-done from scratch which I don’t have the money for now!!! Just hoping the last garage I when to gets back to me who said maybe could go over and redo his poor work and will try a few mixes first and let me know if can match the colour if not it’s a full re-spray as I don’t want to be driving around with different shades of yellow all over it looking like its been in a crash

Its been a bizz week for meee few things i have been doing with my car this week are....

Wanting to clean the throttle body after work again.

Cleaned this last week and feels much better but I just slipped off the inlet pipe and sprayed the cleaner (carb) in that way, its a lot better but still getting just a little throttle hesitation. So wanted to take it off totally but still leave it pluged in so can still open the butterfly valve by pressing on the accelerator.

Vag-Com 'help' Request Catterick/Richmond area, just need someone to check my throttle body alignment after cleaning it.

Thanks
Richard

Just a little up date with the car, I was getting some hesitation on full throttle which would get worse if I was going up hill but when driving norm and accelerate smooth it was fine, so I have cleaned the throttle body, then all the boost pipes and the MAF, which all in all made a little difference but its still there have had the car checked with VagCom (thanks Viking) and no fault codes soooo thinking the MAF is on its way out as this is known to not show any codes when its starting to die, have one on order and should be picking it up this weekend fingers crossed this will sort the problem.
