this can happen if u use too thin a MDF trust me anything over 12mm wont buckle

Yeah, the thicker the better but it is best to seal it with a few coats of paint as it is the moisture in the air that makes it buckle.

Just grab a couple of spray cans from the hardware store and go crazy.

Another tip is to use PVA glue to seal the joins this is strong enough to hold the whole thing together once dry. A couple of screws won't go astray but you only need them to hold the thing together until the glue dries. Doing it this way actually makes it stronger than a box held together by thousands of screws.

I still have the original flare that came with the car!

I used mine when pissed one night - problem was the police chopper was going overhead!! LOL

As far as the "Dodgy-Brothers" home mechanics go, Im the deal! Dodgy to the max, see my posts/photos in the Stagea discussion, titled Stagea Intercooler Thread. Dodgy as, but does the job pretty damn well.
