And god said let there be yellow...

[Greeny.]

...and there was yellow. :clown::dead::star:

Tidy up the bay abit today, obviously painted the fuel rail and plenum, also sprayed the ECU cover as it getting rusty and generally gave the bay a once over. Removed the standard engine cover as I thought it looked pants with it on now after the yellowness.

I also chagned my front plate which I really didnt want to do but after being stopped twice by the cops now, its not worth a £30 fine and/or points. My gf's brother got stopped down the road from me without an L plate on his 125 and got 3 points and a £60 fine so im sure they could do me for my old plate if they wanted

Removed my drivers side fog and replaced it with a trumpet and sprayed it satin black to match the other side, currently doesnt have a CAF attached as I need to think what im going to do with it

Finally I rerouted my 70mm CAF from my passengers side fog light back directly into my airbox and also opened up the rear air feed again. Also added a 70mm silicon elbow to the throttle body as my standard one was tatty to say the least, compared to the standard elbow this looks alot less restrictive.

Sorry for the essay!

It's different. The lettering should definitely be coloured in though.

 

[Fletcher]

Not bad!

Yeah took it all off, how would I do it with it on?


In other news, just been outside sanding down the 'Renault Sport' logo, my god my wrist has cramp now Also hit the main plenum a couple of times with the sand paper, looks better in general though

 

[Greeny.]

Need a strut brace now, hoping for one in Pearl Black I think

 

[cat171]

With coloured lettering I think it'll look a touch better mate, get painting

A touch better but still awful? Im sanded down the letters now so does look better now.

 

[Tigger]

Black lettering and an engine cover will look good now
