I know - After doing 8 coats my eyes cannot adjust ... everything is now red!
I used some red caliper paint that I used to touch up the missus' 4 pots last summer.
Here's the cover:-
Time to down some beer!
Thanks for the offer Maz but I have already done the painting :(
It looks stunning.
The plenum is bright red and the cover is cosmic grey [like my badges].
:)
PS... The plenum is a biatch to do - im on my SIXTH!!!! coat - still got a few more to do :(
I'll post some sneaky pics up in...
Yozzasport fitted an extra large CAF made of very thick material so doesnt suffer from heatsoak - although there is no way in the world I could get it down behind the headlight - It was just too thick ;)
So the rail was removed and it was run infront of the engine with a U bend at the end for...
Dont know which one to go for.....
.... I like the red on the plenum [like my CTR] - but also like the red cover.
Also what do you need to use to paint the plenum? will normal primer and paint suffice?
Have to do a search on how to remove it now ;)

Ha! That was the case.....

Personally If your buying the coilovers for your exploits on the track I wouldnt buy HR's due to the lack of adjustability and softness.
I chose Koni - fully adjustable.... They are very good IMO.
Yep... I had some advice off Steve regarding the large Elf decals he had made up - didnt go for it in the end due to copy catting him! ;)
Ive now:-
Removed Pistonheads rear quarter cross pistons decals
Removed rear blue Michelin decals
Moved rear Elf decals lower and to the side near to...
Thanks guys, Its running very good - the last niggle has been sorted [tracking] so I am enjoying it very much indeed!
I just feel that I am bordering [or entered] on Maccy Dee's!
jbCUP - My sentiments exactly!
Right.... The new decals arnt growing on me and I feel 'a little embarrassed' at how it looks!
I have already started taking the RENAULTsport decals off, I have taken the rear quarter Pistonheads black logo, and MucOff decals off.
But I am leaving the front Michelin and rear Pistonhead.com...
