I got hold of a standard airbox for cheap on ebay that was in fairly good condition with only small patches of surface rust a few days ago:
However, me being my OCD self this couldn't go on the car in this state so it got wire-wheeled all over to strip the paint and rust and then primered:
Then painted bright red (phone camera in the sun made it look pink somehow):
This will get a bit of lacquer on it in the morning.
I freshened up my standard exhaust with some VHT paint which was a nightmare, can was faulty and spluttered everywhere and kept blocking, hence the relatively poor coverage, however it is still better than before and looks acceptable for now:
I then removed the mongoose and refitted my standard exhaust:
The mongoose is the best-sounding exhaust I have heard for the 306 and when you boot it it is fantastic! It isn't silly loud, however I will be using this car to go to work and have decided to go quieter. I went for a little drive this evening and I miss it already. I can't decide whether to keep it, sell it or swap it for a scorpion/other shinies or what really...
