but if u were to put air vent holes in ure boneet a the front near were the intake comes in i think it would work better then all the other vl intake mods

Nope, i'm not too keen on cutting holes in my bonnet... if it rained you'd be sucking water... i reckon the best cold air mod for a vl is from the left corner of the bumper straight up the arse of the air box through the metal.

yeah, the only reason i dont wanna to do usual way is the legal reasons. i'm assuming you can still keep the factory air intake open for more air? or would it sorta cancel it out?

If i cant find the codes for this color then ill whip the motor out and do the whole shell bermuda blue like kalais6... i love that color. [EDIT] I did some more research it is indeed eucumbene blue and thats what i'm spraying it. single tone. cheers m8 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
