Fuel pipe routing S3

Hi all,
Just received my body work back after a long period in the paint shop.
Can someone send me some nice photos of the underside of a S3 roadster so I can see the routing of the fuel pipes.

Thanks.

Re: S3 Air filter boxes

Picking up on this old post.
I want to refurb my S3 air filter boxes & wondered if anyone can confirm the exact paint colour.
I would tend to agree with the previous msg about the finish being smooth, just want to know if I can obtain the right paint & colour.
