Added some new bits under the bonnet
Had this for a while now but sourcing the right hoses was a pain
The right size 90mm if anyone is wondering
I wanted black the first one I got was black but blue in the middle but finally got the black I wanted
Then installation
Looks easy but required a bit or modding to fit
The holes for the bolts on either side didn't line up and needed new ones
The bonnet release catch caught on it so had to make a hole for that
The bonnet springs have been removed as they would slip under the intake and were a pain in the *** to open
It also didn't have bolts for the lid type things
Looks like it may also be a semi air barrier in the grill to stop all the air rising and should keep some running through the coolers
I got the kit off eBay it came with just the ducts the main front piece and the two smaller lids
I also added some bmc filters while I was at it
The silver cover has had some trimming will need to add a little more to be better fitting
I will also neaten up the holes I made but for now it will do
Might get the silver air lids and front piece dipped but not sure for now I'd like the carbon boxes but not for the price lol
If anyone has spare lids and front piece with the tabs over the plugs also sitting around let me know
But here's some pics

I could be wrong though but the fitment did need some "adjusting"
