in the actual fitting, e.g - air flow sensors/map sensors etc etc, its just a bit confusing when there is a spiders web of pipes and wires all needing a place to go! ive done most of the fitting on a mates xe so it should be alright :S

The first bit holds the throttle cable in place, and I imagine the other bit is a breather pipe of some sorts for something.

my favourite part is the std air box, actually wish i managed to hook thr std air box up to me xe corsa as they run far better with them.

but yes, as you say, its a nice car. different from every other millions of xe's that were there
