Looking good bud. Top job with the wrapping looks great!
.
You've definitely saved yourself a small fortune doing it yourself, my mate looked into getting it done at a wrapping place on his golf and was around £1200!
Suits your nova really well though :)

The water pipe your talking about goes to where the throttle body used to be with the old inlet (near the EGR valve). The other pipe on the throttle body connects up to the header tank (Corsa has 2 outlets, Nova only has 1). You can connect it all up by tapping into (using a t-piece) the hose that goes from the top of the radiator to the header tank. Most people just blank the hose off and leave the throttle body as it is as that system was only designed for cars in arctic conditions to stop the throttle body freezing up.
The breather pipe used to connect to the inlet manifold as you say. You're best bet would be to buy or make an oil catch tank and just connect it to that. Then, once it's filled up just empty it and refit.
Regards hoses, get in contact with Paul at Roose Motorsport. I contacted him regards mine and ordered them all individually over a couple of months. I done it this way as it didn't seem a lot of money compared to spending out £200+ at once. This would be your best bet anyway as you use a mix of Corsa and Nova hoses.

That's right yes. left one is a Corsa GSi hose (without aircon as rad/hose is different), the right top is standard nova, right bottom is a Nova GTE/GSi bottom hose. The other one is just a standard Nova one.
I don't see why it's got a t-piece in it. Maybe they've connected the throttle body up from there instead of how I said.
Looks really good though! It's hard to make these engines look "clean" as they have a load of sensors and wires etc everywhere.
I've spent absolutely ages rerouting mine etc without extending any wires. Like the big injector loom plug, i've managed to get it under the inlet manifold and route the injector wires up through the holes in inlet.
Also, one last thing. Have you connected or are you going to connect the air temperature sensor in the filter hose as I can't see it.
