Can somebody point me in the right direction, I am looking for the original black paper air pipe that runs from the air filter to the manifold.
I managed to get one of the aluminum ones, but it just doesn't look right, I can't seem to find the right size in the UK

Can't help on a source, but what about some flat black spray paint?

I think that would just flake off and look unsightly

It’s a smart looking engine bay……..

Had a friend that put a new one on, it was composite of some sort, it did not last long. Don't know who he got it from. Just a word of caution. If I were to paint a metal one, I would use VHT paint (more durable I would think) or a ceramic based paint and cure it in an oven. I have my old wall oven set up in the garage for that, otherwise you'd have to do it when the wife is out of the house.

I bought mine from Rimmer Bros some years ago and it is still OK.
