How’s the quality, is it as good as you’d hoped for?
Externally, very smooth. Nice weave. Not so much internally but I don't expect that it'll impede air flow.

Glad you people that have received them already seem very happy with them.

I’m sure they will complement your engine bays.

Mine have arrived. Ordered some silicon joiners to make the engine bay look even nicer.

Do you have a link for the silicone joiners?

Still waiting for my intakes.

Would also be interested in a link to silicone joiners, went to have a look at fitting mine earlier, looks like it would be a squeeze to fit using the original lol

I just ordered some SAMCO hump hose joiners. They are probably overkill (as they are for boost pipes really), but I figured the hump would give a little slack and easier to fit.

Edit: They aren’t 90mm (think I was confused with our Seat Leon. They are 100-105mm

Bit late for me (there was a mix up with my mail) but it's all sorted and payment sent in full. They will ship to Switzerland for an extra fee. Thanks a lot @Chris

Had an email about the hoses. Can’t get the hump hoses in black, so I’ve gone for straight ones instead (102mm). I get most of my samco hoses from Merlin Motorsport.

Mine got delivered today.

Never really looked before, but always assumed they were left and right handed...?

Wonder what the odds are on them being local to me, so we can simply organise an exchange...? Image

Technik. That’s the sort of thing that usually happens to me.
Mine arrived today. I will check if mine are ok tomorrow.

Well when I read you had got two the same i thought...... Bet i get the other two as this sort of thing typically happens to me and to my surprise :roll: yes they arrived.

Both for the passenger side intake :lol:

Sure we can organise to get them swapped.. I am located in Scotland so not a quick drop off i am afraid

D'oh! Yeah, there's a law about that, I believe - typical that we're almost as far apart as could we could be, within the UK!

Guess we could try and organise couriers between us, although it could get complicated if either one got lost/damaged in transit, etc.

The vendor should sort it out, really.

Just received mine. Looks like I got lucky and received a matching pair.
