Luke's engine bay is sex



I used Autoglym Interior Shampoo on mine and it cleaned it up quite a bit, didn't do it for long enough to get the big marks off (was just trying it out) but if you did it for a while it would look polished.

I got it done at wrc. Its a wheel refurbing center in bamba bridge, preston.
Any powdercoating place will do it.. but i cant stress enough that you need to propperly clean it out after its done as sand sits behind the breather plate and will fook the motor.
It was my mate you were talking too.. he told me he was talking to a chap with a silver LET and that thought it was you kid.

Not in a Corsa but...



Plasticote red gloss and matt black acrylic

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
