Heres some pics of the heat shield fitted. Needed some bending to get in but I'm very happy with how it looks. Hard to capture it on photo but here you go:
Also spent a bit of time tidying up the wiring with some slit cable tidy. Looks well good and cheap too:

Cheers everyone. Yeh I've got a Courtenay actuator that I'm having off Ad (pagey) but just gotta pay him first! Yeh Im going to fix the AFM to the wing to stop that moving around and that'll stop the breather pipe bending out which makes it look untidy.

Yes definately. They do a lot for Vauxhalls that other companies don't. Not a budget hose though as they're pricey. Suppose you pay for the quality though aye.
