What colour shall i do to 'spice' up my Engine Bay?

[JKing]

yep red detailing to set it off against black would be my choice. Like I said I'm not a huge fan off all this chrome and polish

The thing im worried about is if the place i do it will pretreat it if i get it powdercoated?

 

[Cupra_G]

I'd go for polished chrome with red hoses!! Black car with red and polished bits is nice

Best thing to do is ask I guess or find someone who has had engine parts done before and use them. Will look awesome though IMO, and it's different to all this chrome and polished stuff you see all the time.

Id say Red. To go with those sparkly red hoses your buying

Different and matches everything on your car.


(ps. should be able to fit them Saturday... we'll all help!)

Black and red then

theres a black golf vr6 in this months pvw with pink rocker cover etc. looks mega kool.

Yeah they are both nice but i think polished may be too high maintenance

I forgot i know someone who had his done in Black and so i am going to call the place he got his from today and see what they say!

My mate has a balck golf with same dilema!he's considering powdercoating rocker and inlet manifold black with the red hosing and just a few polished bits! That would look dead stealthy

Wicked!

Any ideas where i can get some strong hose clips as i know there is SFS Performance but i think they are a bit too far for me to travel or its an internet one where i need a CC or DC for?

I havent heard anymore yet but i will contact him tonight and find out if he has anymore updates

 

[CupraTgirl]

What bits shall i get done then? Inlet Manifold, what else do people get done?

 

[JKing]

Inlet manifold, rocker cover and possibly the charge pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler.

 

[PhilW]

Mine...

With polished rocker and inlet mani to go on, as well as a few other things.

 

[JKing]

Same catch tank I'll be fitting Phil, how much did you pay for the flexible samco that's attached to it??

 

[CupraTgirl]

Hhmm see Polished is lovely but i cant help but think Black would look better because of the colour of my car?

 

[Georgie]

hahaha!!

alex... you shouldnt keep talking about polishing pipes...


people will get the wrong idea.

 

[andythom]

I would got the polished route if my car was black.......dunno.....think its the contrast between chrome and the black....especially when your cars so shiney

 

[The_one]
