My bolt kit arrived and i was very surprised at how good the quality was. I first degunked the engine, bulkhead and subframe etc.
I then used detailer on everthing....even taking out the intercooler, battery, coil pack, washer bottle etc to clean underneath. Scrubed the strut tops, inside the wings etc. I also repainted the STi intake manifold as it was all scabby etc and hardly any red left on it!

still waiting for other things to turn up like battery cover etc. nothing is going to be chrome, the battery cover is going to be sprayed white in the correct colour shade as the car (already mixed here)

still need to paint intercooler though!

Bolts went in everything...wings, bonnet, intercooler, all over the engine etc.

Am sorry to inform you mate, but you are now ADDICTED,there is NO therapy available unfortunately,just continuous buying/painting/polishing replacing new for old,the future holds sleepless nights,anxiety(is it clean enough,can it be cleaner,could I do better)panick attacks every time you see the EBAY logo, good luck for the future,and welcome to the OCD club Sad

How did you paint your inlet? Did you take it all off?

I actually used smoothrite and painted it attached still. You just have to be careful and have a steady hand and clean up as you go.
I have done it before by taking it off the car but its a longish job as you need to remove fuel rail, injectors etc

Andy kindon told me to do it this way and it looks good
