This is for a small port head and has the OEM 60mm inlet, so no adapters required for installation hopefully. Not sure about the rest of the connections but I guess like most mods there will be some improvising along the way.

Thats cool! The first person I knew using one of these was Steve Cane 'Caney' on his sliver Mk1 with NOS fitted.BrianB wrote: Tue Nov 26, 2024 7:51 amThis is for a small port head and has the OEM 60mm inlet, so no adapters required for installation hopefully.

So over the last 2 or 3 weeks when time has permitted I started the process of trimming and profiling the end of the LCR splitter using a guide by “Blue TTop”, positioning and taping, lots of looking and further small adjustments until I was happy with the position and fit. Today I’ve drilled the bumper and put in just over 50% of the fasteners I’m using to attach the splitter to the bumper.
The next decision is wether or not to get the bumper cover and grills re-painted while there off the car, there are a few stone chips here and there and a large one on the Audi rings.

Decision made, despite the howling winds and rain of the last couple of days I have removed the headlight washers and grills before taking them to be painted.

A couple of weeks ago I started getting access to the camshaft cover in order to reinstall my original cover that I’ve had painted Glacier Blue. The one currently fitted I picked up a few years back and had it powder coated chrome silver but I quite like the idea of having it colour coded to the car so the original has been cleaned up and painted.
The process has been quite slow with doing odd bits when time has permitted and as with most parts that get removed some cleaning and some paint restoration will undoubtably be required.
A few photos below of progress made so far.
