Wow, lots all work done in that engine bay, you must have a lot of time on your hands art. lol

Are all the silver pipes covers for the original or have you replaced them all. Does the cover over the manifold do anything (thought it might prevent heat getting out?)

What did the cover over the power steering and header tank cost, does it still allow the tank to breathe.

yes the silver pipes are just covers .the manifold cover is sat up a little so dont think there would be a heat problem.been to london and back and not noticed any temp change.power steering cover 42 pounds,cap 20pounds it is a cover with the breather hole still there,header cover 73pounds and cap is a cover also so no problemw either 15pounds

sprayed the intercooler mount in the car colour imperial blue and then lightly sprayed the intercooler in the noble badge yellow ,made a template for the noble lettering and finished it all off with domed 10mm stainless nuts.started at 10ish in the morning and finished around 10hrs later.to me it was well worth the effort

forgot to mention imo the intercooler looks best when the clam is shut.looks like a massive noble badge in the engine bay
