New pipe work

Featured Replies

Morning people

I changed my intercooler pipes around on saturday to get both a bit of a better look on the front and better air flow

My idea was to hard pipe the front and get it looking symetrical with the pipes going the same way and the same lenghth n angle n what not

Its much better now but i do need to lower the intercooler by about anouther inch or two so that the angle of the pipe on the right hand side of the car levels out a bit and also bring the intercoolers ports down so are more central in the fog light holes. Will be doing this today

Morning chief, nice effort!

Don't suppose you can help me? I have a wiring/electrical issue. MOT done a few days ago and they replaced a sidelight at the front. Same bulb was working then wasn't working, got it working all ok. This morning, driving to work and all is okay, get to work and all of a sudden I have no dipped beam or sidelight on the nearside.

Any ideas? I've also got a 06 VRS

From experience it will just be the big block connector at the back of the headlight

Looks "better" in the sense both empty foglights are now filled in the same way, pipes look cleaner which is a good thing, but would have kept the fogs in if were me.

as explained in first post, the car was sold to my with no foglights, just blanking plates which were smashed up in the crash so now just become fond of this look now

Looks loads better than before anyway thats the main thing

Nothing above explaining that you didn't have the fogs?!? I personally wasn't aware of that fact ;)

All in all it is cleaner and symmetrical so does look better than before :)

Sorry jars. Got mixed up with posts lol.

I have now dropped the intercooler by about another 2.5" so pipes look alot better lower down and like i said reduces the angle of the pipe on the right

Will post a pic soon

Should have left it with the single headlight and no bumper, looks epic :D

To be honest i was thinking that myself like but theres too much of an angle on the right hand side pipe. Already had to temp take my horn off to achieve this! lol

I relocated my horns higher up.
