Well a BIG thanks to Rob for helping me fit this tonight after work. 
I'm glad I didn't tackle it on my own, not because it was difficult, but it made things faster & easier with 2 pairs of hands.
The way the box fits in my bay is SPOT ON!!!
After some ideas that EVS gave me about using some pipe lagging to wrap around the OEM & Spoon strut, (Cheers Mate :wink: )the box is nice & secure with not rattles from there @ all.
The red hose that comes with it isn't to my taste, but hey ho...this will replaced with braided hoses when I fit my catch tank.
The Gruppe M scuttle is a shocking fit imo.
Sits very proud in the middle & almost no where to get some fixing on near the wing.
The scoop is a blinding fit & doesn't catch the bonnet at all....looks great behind the carbon bonnet too.
The only victim of fitting it the rubber that covers the bonnet hinge.
Although I'll replace both of these once I have modded my OEM scuttle panels & go to put them place.
Now for the important bit....how does it sound, feel & go!!!
Sound wise when we first started it up you can hear it sucking the air which was very odd tbh. Once on the move the car felt different. The best way to describe it as is more solid before VTEC. Once in VTEC is does make a nice noise, not as loud as an Injen style imo, but like a nice metallic bark almost. I think it has helped lean out my rich top end as it pulls towards the redline with alot more keenly. :twisted:
Overall I'm very impressed with the kit.
Just need to get my scuttles modded, rubber hinge covers replaced & the braided hoses knocked up & it'll be perfect.
