Title: would there be anything wrong...

...with routing a water pipe from a WI kit along the underside of the car? Having it tucked up in the skirt maybe.

Its just i\'ve found a nice little hole in the rear seat recess that would make installation a bit easier

As long as its away from the following:-

Heat source
Friction
Snagging risks

then I can\'t see a problem with it, might be worth while buying some conduit to run it through for extra piece of mind. :)

yeah that sounds like a good idea, looks ok under there but i\'ll give it a good once over to make sure.

Also got some electric wire to run but I take it thats best kept in the car, any ideas of the best place to poke it through, I cant seem to find anywhere, bit where the ecu wires go through look promising but is proving to be a bit troublesome :)

If you don\'t mind pulling off panels inside the car then you can normally find an abundance of holes/gulleys and unused grommets! :)

Maybe it would freeze in the winter if parked up outside for awhile,
unless you have aditives in it :yes

Just make sure you have a decent o ring seal on everything and you should be ok.
