The heat reflective ‘stuff’ has a sticky back to it and I assume is up to the task. After sticking it to the airbox as shown before I trimmed it back to suit the curve of the body. It actually looks a little lopsided, but that is because the airbox is not in the centre of the car as its offset from the centre of the engine. Until I realised this I thought that something was drastically wrong!I then used some ally tape to cover the edges and the raised rear section. This actually came out pretty well, yes I know the top edge will get bent around a bit, but I dont think that really matters! I also stuck a small bit of the heat reflective gaff on the underside of the box close to the exhaust.

This weekend I picked up the air scoops that I showed the buck of before. I have had them made in carbon as basically it didnt cost me anything and I thought it looked pretty snazzy! Although its not vacuumed, due to lack of time, but they may arrive in a sometime next year! They need a little trim and then fitting. Things are really coming together.
