Get some fender liners, for the love of god.

You're all doing it wrong.
Duct your vmounts/intercoolers, use fender liners, and don't set your engine on fire.

That engine bay look so empty, wire tucked? And are you running a v-mount or FMIC?

For real. Its getting many upgrades because the upgrades aftermarket are cheaper than stock from dealers. Stock turbos are $3300 is what the claims adjuster said, so i mention BNR's are a lot better and more reliable and durable and are only $2100 right now. lol.

LoL, I'm sure your car rolls down the road just fine. If you want to see pictures of a bone stock mbm engine bay, sure I can post them up.

Try to have a sense of humor on the internet, or don't be so sensitive, or get some fender liners(they keep your engine bay clean, which it appears you care about).
Any of those will work.

That is all,
Barban

By the way that color is beautiful man--it popped my bifocals off!

Thanks Gordon! I've never experience with the bosh or stock coils but the blasters seem to be doing the job .
