great job mate :wink: just painted part of my airbox around 5 days ago hehe, maybe I'll post some pics ...

can you please tell me where have you connected the thin breather pipe to? and doesn't the other breather pipe, the one you connected the breather filter to make a strange noise when you release the throttle (cos the crank case sucks in air)??

nah mine doesnt really make any noise at all...or maybe it does but it hasnt been so bad iv noticed it. the filter gets rid of the smell of fumes so im happy. this is what i attached the thin pipe to

ahh I tried one of those valves but the spring is just too strong for the low pressure exhaust coming out from that pipe, so make sure you are not building any pressure in the top cover mate. A good valve would be the one they use in aquariums cos they operate in low pressures

so you both know its an inlet into the head and not an outlet! Its not an exhaust, but an inlet for air.

ahh sry my bad cos in my mind I tough of it as an exhaust as it spits out oil if not connected. still that valve is too strong for that application imo. Alex do you know of any one-way valve I can use for the crank case breather hose...one with a soft spring or a diaphragm as used in the airbox?

i think you gotta be careful with the front tints because there is a tint on them standard usually

front tints are illegal on the polos as they already have a 70% green tint on them - any lower and itll push it past the legal light limit

Yeah mate completely standard on the front.
It cost me £90 to get the back 3 Tinted which I thought was reasonable
