why not have a little dancer thats pops up, spins round and plays a funky jingle when u open the bonnet, like a jewelery box

Yeah, i had mine done when it went into the bodyshop. Only was showed in Belguim though, then i sold it.

Anyone tried colour coding the cam belt cover? That would look quite good i think :)

Love good engine pics :D get the chromed battery cover etc and that hammerite stuff has worked well :)

I just painted my manifold. I used some left over hammeright that i had used on my brakes. Worked a treat and have had no probs!!




Am going to do the caps as well, when i get round to it!!

Brings back the memories of tarting D4/s engine up. have a look on my site for some ideas dude?

Theres a lot can be done. I love the pic, when i'd just got the hoses, it looks so clean and smart and tidy :) Never got another photo like these that made it look as good :(



I bought some engine heat resistant paint and put it on the caps, and inlet manifold. As u can see below, it made quite a difference!!!

However, my first attempt wasn't so good :lol:

Id say blue hoses and blue anodised bolts to match.

my old inlet manifold came up pukka after a good ging over with a wire brush, give that a go;)

Red SFS Hoses.

Paint the oil cap, header tank cap red.

Or get a new stainless steel header tank, PAS tank, battery cover.

General tidy up of pipes/hoses etc. Try to hide em a bit more.

I've got a 16v sticker from Kindness im gona use and as for mirrror under my bonnet emmmmmmmmmmm NO :). What you said Kindness sounds good :)

reckon it needs a badge on the cam cover to plain imo

red caps

Could try cleaning the outside! Jeepers I dunno :rolleyes:

:lol: ;)

get a mirrored bonnet

get the inlet manifold chromed:thumbs:
