Looks like you have a lot of work to do, as it seems quite tatty all round. Especially the bodykit that doesn't line up properly, or go with the lines of the car. That engine bay needs tidying up too!

You best get cracking...

Think you'd of been better fitting a front mount intercooler rather than chopping a huge hole in the bonnet to fit the crappy std one tho !!
Top effort anyway.
