That kit is far to untidy, 

Wrap the bonnet with a photo of stock engine bay, that way you'll look at it and say "that's tidy engine bay" :P 

Sent the rocker cover out to craved coatings and got it done to match the rest of them IMG_4744.thumb.JPG.6afa6134301a3d4fee17e346f645c60a.JPGam going to uncover the writing on it due to the candy looking different there compared to the rest

Parts are back from ceramic coating IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.5cf3f8ee475476153faf90d50043a1e0.JPGi also bought plugs for the original oxygen sensors because I no longer use them and they will just be in the way when installing the turbos

I then grabbed a die grander with basically a scotch bright pad on it and attacked the powder coatIMG_4833.thumb.JPG.7f2c88345b2389c350619f4fe737f249.JPG halfway done

IMG_4834.thumb.JPG.2353981157b2bd15f90050fd90bca345.JPGpowder coat gone and then I ran another pad over it to give it a machined look

Then got to fitting it to the engine IMG_4836.thumb.JPG.04867ea540bf3c0762a2b3f6934ce1f5.JPGhere it is fitted to the engine

IMG_4837.thumb.JPG.df0c7aade7b3e1f6dac59e3e349b01ce.JPGthis comes with the kit and of corse is the reason the kits costs so much lol

IMG_4838.thumb.JPG.a9df0418147d17669701275a29de6702.JPGand with all the sensors and oil cap fitted,

Had some time today so I decided to spend it playing with the car IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.d009be87cb63945f4e5725c08b67dc90.JPGIMG_4844.thumb.JPG.5f6d12c7e23b38252856bef4d6e73724.JPGfinally unwrapped all the parts I got ceramic coated, it's a shame you won't see them once they're installed 

And finally the turbos can start going on, some people will be a bit disappointed IMG_4824.thumb.JPG.28e6ae604b5f998129b74c4849a2e97a.JPGIMG_4823.thumb.JPG.f5c51bbaee14e0635d24ed4146f4b0bc.JPGbut I'm staying twins (that was never a secret) and they are nothing specialIMG_4825.thumb.JPG.b6560843efd7188c06aba5905a80ef37.JPGjust a basic set of -5s with very low kms that I got for a price way to good to pass up
