Looks good what paint did you use?

 

[StevenMc29]

Looks very smart! Standard ride height?

 

[kylenicks]

thanks lads, ordinary satin black with plenty of primer and laquer. its slighty lower as it has eibach springs sits lovely n level compared to standerd.

 

[StevenMc29]

Sportlines or Prolines? Hows that affected the handling compared to standard?

 

[kylenicks]

im not sure they were already fitted mate, it does handly very well tho, its so grippy, i wud love to track it but im gona look after her lol.

 

[Stephen766]

just painted mine last weekend tidy's the bay up no end in my opinion

 

[Browny]

I personally would say Powdercoating over paint, thats what i went with..

• Matched Inlets and powdercoated anthracite
• Powdercoated Engine mount
• Powdercoated Gearbox mount
• Powdercoated Alternator brace

I didnt fancy a Racing Blue engine to be honest.. But i like the look of your red mind. as always, each to their own

my point was your not going to get the same finish with a rattle can than with powder coat or a gun finish! also with powder coat its all the same colour! with painting then you can do the lettering a different colour!

 

[Browny]

If youre good you can sand the lettering, and either leave it like that or then paint it.
If youre that arsed about the lettering that is

I was bored 1 day n just went for it. Its a great finish close up n u wud never say its been done with a can. Engine mount is next wen I. Get a chance. The polished writing I think is great.

Is it ok to just remove the cam cover/ engine mount (with the sump supported!)?

 

[kylenicks]

i done mine with a can and to be honest it does look like a proffesional job, its bang on, i scraped the lettering off with a stanley blade then polished it the n lacquered it so it stays shint
