could be rust, and/or warped plastic.

Pretty sure OEM bulbs are D2R.

Tegiwa sells the silicone intake pipes. (Should have told me earlier, I could have ordered one with your other part).

Again +1 for Jesse Streeter, I got my gruppe m through him and saved well over $300compared to the cheapest local price. Shipped via ems too.

Yeah I should have ordered it at the time, oh well, also with the gruppeM I have seen them on xposed for $931, how much did you pay for yours again?

hmm, i took the seat out and wiggled it abit and found the sound to be coming from around the lever to fold the seats down, oiled it all up but still makes noise. I sort of sounds like shaking a white out pen with those metal things inside them lol Don't really wanna take it apart cause i'm scared i'd mess something up lol

Will end up cheaper if you go through Streeter! Also, many people (including myself) use SFS intake pipes. Doubt there's too much difference in which brand of silicon piping you use though!

yeh rps said it, tegiwa makes one.
Gruppe m might have one.. they used to.. dunno bout now.

also, ive seen on the uk type r forums the SFS silicon hose is really popular for the gruppe and it fits really snug too
