This battery has also now been replaced lol with a nice new redtop lol to match the seats.The cage is a billet alloy cage built just to fit the battery, you can buy simalair on ebay but the quality isnt the same.
now the intercooler had to be powdercoated to match the pipework

i also ended up spraying the centre black as it looked so much newer and nicer
Carrying on the red theme i sent my seat belts away to be rewebbed and they came back looking awesome
