Air intake you mean

Finally ordered my strut brace today, so should be here midweek. But where is the best place to order the pd160 air filter from and the green cotton panel?

the pd160 is an intake mate from seat. so.... with that said seat would be the best place, however its "supply and demand" so what has turned into a bargain performance part has turned into a £90 luxury spend. And green cotton filters can be had from demontweeks to ebay.

Yes.... Sorry I meant air intake. I've seen the air intake on jabbasport so will probably get it from there. And thanks for that I will get it from demontweaks. I'm wanting to respray the strut brace and the engine cover. I've never done any spraying before so is there any advice on how to do it?

Yes take it to a body shop

As you can imagine the engine bay isnt a pleasant place for paint. Hense the lack of paint in the engine bay. Some alloy refurb companys will powder coat the brace for durabillity. Regardless ether place you will go the finish will be excellent. Unless your very handy with the old rattle cans. Your first step would be to strip the orginal paint off, make sure there is no blemishes so bumps etc.. put down a base coat of suitable primer, again sand down for smoothness, repeat until you have a good "canvas" and then begin spraying with paint. Up to you if your looking for normal paint or high temp from what ive seen normal body panel paint over time will flake, crack, bubble and any other rice krispie termanology I can think of. Once this is done you might want to pop a few coats of lacquer on for some extra shiny shiny!! Then give it a wax and fit..... I think thats about right..

I mean im on about spraying the plastic engine cover, seen it done on here but wondered how to do it.

Thanks for the info and yeah I will probably do it myself now I know how. It comes red already but wanting to spray it green...

if you can find it use hammerite smooth green (not smooth dark green tho) as its close to vrs caliper colour.

i wouldnt buy from tweeks as theyre overpriced really, fleabay is better bet.

Have found a decent price price for the filter, but I have come across the Pipercross Viper Induction kit. What do people know about these?
