If you're selling the polished metal bit on its own, I'm interested :D

Already got a BMC :wink:

as for offers and a price....its got at least £80 worth of metal then you have the cost of welding on top of that and polishing and its in perfect brand new condition

so...

Where does the feed run down to? Mine runs to the factory position in the wing at the moment. Not sure if there is space to get anything behind the front bumper as I have all manner of A/C parts bolted to it by default.

it finishes just above the alternator belt then i have a smaller bendy pipe going down into the arch to get the cold air

i love this!!

I would happily take it off your hands but just cant afford to spill £80 odd on it.

Good luck with the sale it looks top notch!!!

EDIT:: is that a dixie horn?!

i'll take the bmc seperately from the metal pipework, and someone else can have the pipework. let me know if your interested in splitting

btw stupid question, but won't the metal just get hot and therefore be sucking hot air in? :?

not such a daft question actually, was thinking it myself, or maybe we are both just stupid :lol:

we were worried about this at first but no it doesnt happen...the pipe isnt even hot when you've just been driving.

i can take more action after saturday so watch this space, i will happily sell the bmc seperate to the intake

hah ye the dixie horn is going with the car though, although i will miss it!

cheers

Haris if you want the BMC but can't stretch to buying the intake too, I'll make an offer to Tom for the metalwork.

Let me know.

Cheers
