looks good but i would have ran the feed into the fog or wheel arch. where it is now its blocking the path of cold air to the plenum, it runs too far and it doesn't look as good. imo.
if i do it i will be using plasti-kote super enamel. it is heat resistant to 150 degrees, so that should be plenty for the plenum.
my mate has used plasti-kote on his capri engine and it hasn't cracked yet...
just wanted a little more advice really as i dont want it to go all sh!tty then i...
i have seen a fair few people with this done. mine is semi polished atm but i was considering painting it.
has anyone that has painted it noticed cracking or flaking? or does it stay on there pretty well?
cheers
i love 2118's! they look stunning mate!

im very, very jealous of the 2118's
very nice mate.

it would work if you painted the mirror caps green too
thats what i thought! looks sh!t all the way across the bay and blocking air path to plenum.
good effort with the light caf. neat job :)
will have to look through the progress thread
heat from the light shouldn't be a problem at all, the cold air will pass through the piping before it gets a chance to heat up. if anything it will heat up more in the engine bay.
looks ok, wouldn't have it on mine but fair play. if you needed the fog holes for brake ducting then there is not...
just noticed your from nottinghamshire, not too far from where i am. if there is a meet around area sometime i would be interested in checking out its cleanliness in the metal :)
keep cleaning ;)
for what reason do you want it to be more like a cup?
power/weight ratio? looks? feel?
for ower/weight, remove all the things you dont need (rear seats, aircon, traction controll, abs, sound deadning etc... there will be a slight improvement
if its for looks, remove xenon washer jets, fit a...
thats not bad at all. not a huge fan of the splitter. and im not sure about the style of the wheel. the colour scheme of the wheels and everything else looks great tho
