It's an explorer - everything is @rse about, but thought it may inspire you in some way!? The air filter is a 9" long, 3" neck K&N pod filter, and I made that custom cover for it - painted it with VHT wrinkle spray (available in black, blue or red) for that "factory" look - kind of.

Quite tasty it does look quite beefed up with that intake too.

[ayeyew]

Can't wait for the hols to start so i can clean my engine bay

Have fun mate

Thats one thing i do miss. I love the look of the Tickford engine covers. :(
I want to do a few more things to mine still. I'm waiting for Pole position to make the red silicone hoses for the au v8, and hopefully they will make the heater and water pump ones too, and im seriously thinking about taking the extractors off and getting them HPC coated.

Love my engine cover but I cant leave it on there all the time as it rubs. If I could get a standard one even in bad condition Id paint it up and put it on there.

I'll hopefully have my cover back on in the next couple of weeks. Taking it in to get powder coated this week in burgundy.

Or you could always bulge-up the bonnet, giving it clearance enough that it doesn't rub ;)

And by the way, damn that looks nice! I can see why you wouldn't want it rubbing.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of under the bonnet of my AU 6'er, althought its bog standard and nowhere near as clean as the rest of the car, I should do something about that though after seeing these inspirations!

That pic annoyed me so much I had to go and take an up to date version!

Not so good quality, just took it with my phone......

Yes, yes you can lol.
I'll post my shame, maybe I'll get inspired to do a big detail job on it soon.

I relocated the oil catch can a couple of days ago as where it was it was getting waaay too hot.
