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

Looks good. They're a mirror image to my RevoZport ones

Fitment isn't perfect on mine either, but it sounds like yours took a bit more massaging to fit.

How do the air passages look compared to the factory ones ? I am not real impressed with the stock components.

I was told they're made in the same factory but the more expensive ones are picked for sale by the company's and the ones rejected by them are then sold
I could be wrong though but the fitment did need some "adjusting"

Other than the badge, it looks very similar to my Revozport intake. The real one needed "adjusting" as well. I'm sure performance will be the same.
