Stealth Pikey Arch Mod

jasc1988 · 09-05-2008, 16:48

Finished work early today so went to Homebase for a vent for the arch, pop riveter and some rivets

That was 2 hours ago in the baking sunshine - has started to rain so i've taken a break, plan was to remove drivers fog also to help aid IC air flow as i'll be running an uprated turbo on the standard IC shortly

What you guys think? ive fixed it internally and just gave it a few coats of black (black magic was all i had

) I've went stealth / OEM

Very nice, but the TT arch vent is a tad more stealth/oem

Like what I did

Aren't the grooves on your disk the wrong way?

vRS Dovit · 09-05-2008, 18:02

The reason I say is that I'm pretty sure the grooves are supposed to go in the direction of the wheel, otherwise they generate excess pad wear.

I think you're right, they are on the wrong way IMHO.

jasc1988 · 09-05-2008, 18:16
