I see what you mean from the other angles .... why can't these folk just make a decent arch kit for the car with some nice flowing skirts and leave it at that - all this cut out wing and silly sculpting / hacking just makes it look like a cheap air fix kit.

Exactly mate! I have designed a kit myself in 3d which looks very smart but have no way of making it. So it will stay as a file on my computer I guess. If I had the funding I'm sure it could be made reality...

Finally got my oil drain set up sorted. I'm not sure how something so simple turned into such a nightmare. I think being sent the wrong parts a few times might have had something to do with it. All importantly, its done now though. Ended up with aluminium flange off the turbo, to which I fitted a 1/2npt male to -12an male adapter. This then angled off with a 45deg -12an swivel lock fitting to -12an stainless braided hose and into a 120deg swivel lock fitting. Terminating at the sump as high as possible with a -12an male/male adapter into the female welded bung.

Simple eh!
