Been doing some colour coding

[caymanr26]

After going to the french car show and seeing various other cars I decided to do a spot of colour coding this week - mainly inspired by Maz and RichMcc - heres my efforts so far

quite pleased with the results - only a few bits and pieces to finish it off needed now.

 

[Ali]

nice mate. Sturt Brace to finish it?

 

[caymanr26]

its in a powder coating place at the moment - changing from red to silver - just hope it aint a weird silver against the silver of the car but should be good

 

[Mr Melon]

That is nice, only thing I think needs doing is the power steering fluid bottle... looks a bit manky.

 

[caymanr26]

and need some anodised screw caps and hose seperators etc

 

[caymanr26]

aint alot i can do to the power steering bottle unless any one knows of an alloy cover??

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella looking good

 

[Ali]

Brad is looking into making these...I've got anodised nuts too. www.tastynuts.com. (Probolt)

 

[Englebert]

That looks reallly tidy. My engine bay looks like someone has taken a s**t over it!

 

[Maz]

Stunning

 

[_Kenny_]

very nice

 

[caymanr26]

cool nice 1 Ail - I had been lookin on demon tweeks website - theres loads on there but quite pricey

Thanks Maz - hope you dont mind me copying you!

 

[Clio Bex]

eye catcher! very nice n tidy!

 

[Maz]

Not copying at all .. where did you get the polishing done ?? and that nice silver bottle

 

[caymanr26]

silver bottle is a bailey header tank - loads of places sell them - got mine from motorsport world. Plenham was polished at a polishers in Devon - was not very happy with it though as not done between the letters - I had a go myself before fitting it - its ok but not great - my original plenham is being matched at the moment then being polished by someone else so should be loads better next time - shall be selling this one then if anyone wants one.

 

[Maz]

^^ cheers thats great

 

[Ali]

I need my old plenium polished. but to do around the letters is a nitemare.

i paid 100£ off ebay for my headertank.

 

[caymanr26]

I noticed it on ebay just after paying for mine - nevermind!
I want my old plenham polished then matched but have just been told by another polisher that they can not do between the letters - surely there is a way - I have been told about a method of using millions of little ball bearing in a sort of drum that move around andd polish the surface in the process - need to find somewhere that does that i think - I am sure Ben at angelworks mentioned he knew someone

 

[Adam]

that is awesome...
please do my inlet and plenium like that

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

That looks amazing mate

 

[dannyboy86]

Whereabouts in Devon is the polishers mate? Do you mind if I ask how much they charged also?

 

[rich[182]]

quality engine bay, hp ik looks awesome

 

[caymanr26]

it really was not a good job mate - the edges of the letters took loads of work to get looking half decent - only charged me £60 but wasnt worth nay more.
company is called GLM metal polishers
hers their website - http://www.motorcyclepolishing.co.uk/
The guy was really helpful at first - agreed to do in between letters but when I got it back he hadnt done it - I know its difficult but after telling me he would do it I expected it done - cost me £30 to post both ways as well!

 

[caymanr26]

heres a better link

http://www.glmmetalpolishers.co.uk/

 

[Ali]

^The noises on that site are a pain in the tits...

 

[caymanr26]

yep agreed lol

 

[caymanr26]

perhaps im being harsh - it was a pretty good job - just really wanted the writing sorted out

Cheers for the link, I live nearby so I may actually pop in and have a chat face to face. I can understand it being annoying if they've missed part of it out though, the whole effect loses its edge...

Looks good though mate
