Like you said they will look good together for sure, :B_thumb:
Gav its really clean. I'd be most happy if I can get mine to that standard. What's the deal with the clean rip kit mate? It looks like a chopped up ph2 & I like how you've still got the original throttle body silicone hose. I want to build a rip kit using my original orange & solid pipes where I can. Pics of the meet boys!!
Looking good Gav, mine's not washed yet, I'll see what the weather does in the morning.

The rest of the silicone was a std vernair kit and yes im still runing the standard size throttle body although its polished inside and intake port n matched to Head.
It just gets better every time you clean it Gav..... I love the tread on your tyres, kinda makes the whole car look mean.
Looking good mate, always have to look twice at those 70 series clocks lol

The front tyres are only Budgets but grip surprisingly well wet or dry. They are BCT's Bejing Capital Tire Company, they have mixed review's but i havent had any problems with mine.
Cheers Graham , Its just a little twist i like to the car, as she is made up from so many different ones ive had in the past. I'm very fond of the this engine as its out of the 1st t5 i ever got, even before i was a member on here lol
Well they look damn good mate... I'm really impressed with your car Gav, from how it was to what it looks like now.... real dedication mate! :B_thumb:
