I still have a length of blue silcone 63m piping that I can't see any future use for. If anyone wants to come and collect it or make a donation to comic relief then they are welcome to it - it retails at over £20/metre and I must still have over 2 metres.

It is not really suited to the tunnel mod as it is too stiff for the route required.

MV have just (finally - what was I thinking) done mine and the existing ducting reached just fine. Seems a bit random if people need new or not from what I can tell.

Much of my rebuild is to renew anything I can find on the car looking a bit tatty or rusty etc, my old hoses are looking a bit worse for wear and £30 for nice new clear hoses tidies up my tunnel mod/air scoops quite nicely. Ill use the good bits of the old hoses to direct any air entering the side scoops into engine bay.

From what I can tell, the tyres flick stones over the hoses and pebbledash them causing holes. Then when noticed, some dealers trim the hose back and reattach, hence they no longer reach the tunnel.

Ah - makes sense. I'll go and check if MV replaced then tonight!

+1, my existing ducting reached fine, there should be a few inches to spare on top

two of mine didn't even reach the heater box to start with and were lying there disconnected!

One of mine is like that now I think it must have fallen off and no-one has had it apart since to check!
