the do a tip yes. is the mk4 much different to the tt 180 hp one? i know the do that one.

their tips are far better than others as they are wire re-inforced. nice and strong

looks impressive mate, that is a lot of piping for the FMIC, didnt think there would be that much!!

ive always been disapointed with the amount of visual pipes in the engine bay so i made the rear boost pipe visual by changing the shape of the pipes and im very happy with how its all turned out!

i was going to send these joiners away to get the swage/buldges on each end to stop boost pipes popping off but ive belt sanded lines down the tubes to give it grip.

this is what it will look like when back together just need to send the boost pipe off to get the pipe outlets welded on,

I do know what you mean mate - every time i was my car I find more and more stone chips and it does genuinely make me upset when you see it going downhill with the paint. White would certainly be better but IMO you cannot get a nicer looking paint than an immaculate, polished solid black. Love the mirror shine. But each to their own. :D

Will Cupra wheels be for sale?

agree. black is a paint to clean and keep lookin stunning. but when it is, no other colour beats it. I reckon for the best black car, you must respray every 12-24months :D

Rash, car is looking sweet

looks good mate....BUT i would seriously reccomend getting the pipes swaged. nothing worse than a boost pipe popping off that you cant get to, when you are in the middle of no where..

im not running high boost and the pipes are tough to get on and off and ive not used WD to get most grip and the roughness on the sanded parts i will honestly be shocked if they popoff honestly! BUT if i do have a problem i will get it done doesnt take long to remove the bumper and remove the joiners

Car is lookin sweet mate, engine bay looks so much better with all that silicon!! :D Turbo should spool up a bit quicker with the less restrictive hoses too! Candy white would be an epic choice of colour, my first car was white, and it always came up well when it was cleaned, and hid scratches and dents, chips etc so much better than any other colour! :)

Black CH's will look sweet you gotta get sum! :D

How did you get bumper back on with the larger silicon top intercooler pipe? Did you have to cut some of the mount away on the inside of the bumper? Took my bumper off the other day, cant believe how restrictive that top "pancake" pipe is! I really need to change mine!!

yep bumper needed a trim and the front re-enforcer bar needed some modifying so the hoses didnt foul on it yep the new hoses really do give the boring engine bay a mucho needed lift! but most importantly better flow and on the standard hoses its got some weird corners and that certainly doesnt help

gonna get it all running ect then polish it up if it doesnt comeout to the standard i want then il have the spray done ;)
