I don't have any pictures on hand at work, but I can try get you something when I am at home.

Here's a picture from google, once you slip those quick-release fittings off. The silver stubs are sufficient to attach the new pipes onto.

When I did my car I ordered the full coolant pipe kit from Roose Motorsport and did everything in the engine bay. I am not sure if they sell the pipes individually, but you might be able to email them and ask.
