A selection of photographs of a Bog Standard Right Hand Drive GTI-R with ABS and with Air Conditioning and all the tubes I could find.

After taking these pics I realised just how difficult it is to get a pic of all the various pipes, t-pieces and tubes. The pics above are evidence ... although some tubes are just impossible to photograph. - shows just how cramped the engine bay is!
