i have one of these



i have to remove the inlet to replace the exhaust manifold gasket and egr pipe and other stuff to get rid of the slight blow it has from cold.

ive done a deal with a good mate called eal of barnet on here, for some silicone hoses for the plenums and some spare plenums he has. be rude not to paint the plenums im getting seen as the others have to be removed anyway.

maybe just a nice clean white? for a re-freshed std look?

thats why i put the warning in the title, so people knew when they opened it, it would be about an actual vauxhall. saves the confusion.

i really did debate green. but i only did the corsa green as it gave people something to look at as most people dont bother looking at vauxhalls these days.

thats really smart that car overall not just the bay.

im not going for that kind of detail i just fancied making it look a bit livlier sort of thing. looks quite good in yellow though.

that vectra has 19" snowflakes on it aswell.

im just not sure it would suit the towing wagon as it does the corsa. corsa can pull stuff like that off as its a random car. my vectra is just a standard vectra nothing else really.

im kinda swaying towards white.

Red and yellow? It would look like hulk hogan in your engine bay, which is always going to be cool.

Seriously though yellow and white.

its an overall tough choice to make. i was going to paint my calipers red etc you see in preperation for the new wheels whenever i buy them from work. hence i got red hoses and wasnt sure what to do with the plenums.

Any bright colour will look good against black so it would be a hard task to make it look shit.

As long as its bright and vivid it will work, just depends how lairy you want to be.
