They are probably some Ebay junk, I would install some actual quality ones if I were you. Maybe these off IND? https://ind-distribution.com/collect...ctor-light-kit

Those larger M calliper transfers look the biz together with new hub finishers are little money for a great finish.

I got mine from eBay. Been on for a bit now and still look pretty good. This isn't the exact one but very similar to ones I put on https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F383483659374

Wrapped handle inserts.

After taking advice from this forum I attempted my handle wraps today.... went ok, took my time (got plenty on my hands) and wrapped the chrome inserts in gloss black vinyl wrap. Only a couple of pointers for anyone wanting to do this..... TAKE CARE on removal, the lugs on the insert are plastic and can snap with little exertion. Once removed the wrap was only tricky at the ends of the insert due to its shape, use a heat gun (or hairdryer) to ensure good adhesion. Re fitting with a thin double sided tape and they just push back into place Job done

Your screws inside the MAF sensor already from stock intake didn't work? That's all I used when installing them.

How is difference in sound? Any performance increase you think?

How much louder is the turbo spool? I wouldnt really expect any performance gains, but I may be interested if you could hear the turbos more.
