I would say black paint is your friend but in this case paint it white, will blend in better, but might look horrible

I could just imagine a bit of fibreglass surgery on the front bar to make the cooler less noticeable. Image
Apart from that, the setup looks clean and neat troyman.

Yep, even that. there's less mucking around trying to mould one from scratch.

more updates..
i went to ems today to get some pins for the 8860 plug,
as someone has removed all the pins and wires that were not used in the ecu's last aplication..
so one step closer to deciding wether or not to use the 8860 instead of the stinger..???

made up a heat shield to cover the turbo exhaust housing from a au heat shield..
it will do for now, untill i can find out if there is anything to gain using a turbo beanie ....

Heat shield then heat wrap with the black stuff like mine, even tho its hot you can still put ur finger on it without getting 3rd degree burns.
