^ coming from the euro crowd, some of the hoses are gonna have to go if you're really serious about cleaning up the bay... get rid of, hide, re-route anything you possibly can

I agree it would look cleaner without the ARC oil catch can and braided hoses right in the front of the bay like its mounted, I just like the ARC too much to swap it out for something different.

Holy crap, I had no idea V-dubs (or any cars really) could pull of wire tucks like that. Almost doesn't look functional.

Got any pics of your Jetta engine bay?

I know I know...I failed at HIN. Look at it this way, this gives you time to get your polished bottles ....etc...etc...etc. before I come out in Sept

Haha, yeah totally agree with you. I have no plans of ever selling this car. If the engine craps out at 300K then I'll just drop a fully built VQ into it!

No worries about HIN, Ernie told me you weren't going to be able to make it.

Amazing work Marcus. I'm surprised I haven't seen your bay in a magazine yet and if I missed it, let me know. I think I need to do a little polishing myself.
