Engine dress up??

[joe_2187]

Does anyone know any companies that sell chrome/carbon engine bits?

Like this...

The hillpower induction kit is on eBay at the moment item number 220876792249.

header tank can be bought from euro performance,

hoses from k-tec

the manifold and fuel rail cover will have probably been done by the owner or sent to a polisher

Looks like solid top mounts too

As said - stopped making them ages ago so rocking-horse poo would be more common!

Is it just me or do others not like the overly clean engine bays? I mean I'm up for the odd bit of vht paint but all the Chrome/carbon bits just remind me of halfords discount isle.

I kinda agree with you. I only wanted covers for the top mounts as they look like a Childs teething toy or something.

Start with getting the inlets polished and work from there .

Its all personal opinions. I like my engine bay to look really clean & would like it to have nice new samco pipes & polished bits here & there with some carbon (as carbon is just cool!! lol)

(as carbon is just cool!! lol)

If its just visual and doesn't serve a structual purpose then it is not in the slightest bit cool.

Smoothed bays look so much better than shiny ones

Hi there, I'm new to the clio scene, but streamline carbon.com is down the road from me and they do lots of goodies. The only thing is that you need a mortgage to buy the stuff! It's quite expensive.

 

[scott.p]

Expensive but unless I was laminating it myself they are the only company I'd use.

I have to admit, its quality gear! I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for, but people seem to always want to do everything on the cheap to their cars.

I agree with you mate. Chrome engine bits are normally for people who dont drive their cars.

Whatever you do dont buy cheap wet-lay wrapped parts they will look s**t, if you want carbon save up and get proper carbon.

No sorry no blue bucket for me
