C2ology's Engine Bay (Completed with pics)

[c2ology]

Well it's time to clean and redo my furio engine bay to make it look good!

Going to repaint the bits and bobs currently silver which is flaking away looking tacky.

Going to put my oil filter on which i had in my room for ages, but need a air filter arm without the hole like Dan's where can i get it from?

Any other suggestions?

go for red, its not out any of your car, so it should be hidden away on your bay

id go for a fairly bright blue myself to keep it intune with the rest of the car.

[c2ology]

At the moment i got one of each vote, does that mean i'm gonna have a rainbow under the bay?

[c2ology]

I've gone for a normal green and almost everything i want painted!

[matt_sky_walker]

i asked you what paint you're using ? and did you primer stuff ?

[c2ology]

I used Plasti-kote - fast dry enamel ideal for plastic then put clear laquer on top to stop it from cracking in the future!

[Smivadee]

i want your grill!

[c2ology]

[c2ology]

Think now some green or silver hose and the Green Cotton Induction kit from Cituning will finish it off nicely!

[Jodie-Ill...Again]

Thats bright!! But nice ;)

[Pagey]

Sorry dude, but that looks absoloutely dire!

Please say you can change it back?

[Jimbo]

nice try, but I personally think its awful.

Each to there own though.

[c2ology]

I didn't really like it myself when i first put it all back in.
it's slowly growing on me!

Looks better in person!

[mixeh]

i like it... goes with my giant

[parksey]

hey cummon i know we got opinions but give credit to the lad for being brave enough to even try it.....

i actually like it, its origional plus you have done a good spray job! :D

[simon-gt1717]

i think it looks good mate

[Ashley_J]

I like the colour! And it'll go nice with the rest of the car (which I saw in this months PGTi by the way! :))

[c2ology]

Yeah was in March issue of PGTi!

Gonna have the car touched up and sideskirt repaired in the summer might get them to paint the bits the same colour as the body work!

[DanRS]

eek.

[Danny]

8O ouch

[Ashley_J]

Getting them sprayed the same 2 tone colour would be even better than they are now!! :o

[c2ology]

Yeah was just talking to jimbo about that on msn! Well i don't really open my bonnet up much anyway so pretty pointless lol!

[spooky_fish]

looks good IMO tho id would do the battery cover again, lise the fuse box

[c2ology]

I really did messed up the battery box big time! I painted the box silver to start of with. Then painted the middle bit green and the front square bit green.

[davec2furio]

i think it lets the car down tbh. having a cool car with a pretty random engine bay 8O
may look better if the battery cover was redone

[Craig]

ewww!

Maybe a darker green?

[Sag]

Jinnnn my man! what the hell did you do!

Not a fan at all man. Just get bodyshop to do it in the rage extreme.

[xander_TT]

yeah sorry dude looks awful. it just looks so bad as the rest of the car looks so fantastic. have a re think mate :(

[ellis]

looks okay dudee bet it looks betta in the flesh !!

regards
ellis

[matt_sky_walker]

not too bad i dont know why everyone is slating it , however i would only have painted the raised bit on batt cover , thats what im hoping to do to mine , where did you get your paint from ? thanks

[dave1]

horrible! better shiny chrome!

i dont like it mate, i was really looking forward to the outcome too.

[Andy]

sorry mate, not a fan, but hats off for the effort! and if you like it who cares what i think lol, plus i bet the parts would be easy to change to another colour if you wanted to in the future

[Jaimz]

dear oh dear.

i think it will look much better colour codded like the outside

[cliveGT]

thought my orange was bright mate :( not to sure what i think mate :D

[c2ology]

Well don't bother me what people think really, just better then what it was before when it was left flakey.

[scoopybadboy]

Sorry dude, but that looks absoloutely dire!

Please say you can change it back?

i av to agree tbh

[Marx]

:|

[Pri]

it doesnt really go with the colour of the car but screw it because your bonnets shut most of then time anyway :)

its good work though, and you know you can always change it to another colour when you get bored of it so its all good!
