different...

[Nafoff]

cleaning the car up today, giving it its summer coating of wax, polish etc, whilst i was waiting for the polish to cure i decided to set about an idea i had just previous..

the other day i painted my rear badges as i broke them and thought i could age them a bit...

i finished these of last night by doing the sport badge and the front triangle

this was when i had the idea earlier to set on something a bit bigger....

the engine bay had been painted just with black hammerite and a brush and tbh looked cack....so...

masked and first layer

done and cleaned up a little

the bar holding the bonnet up is simply an old mountain bike handle bar painted in the same style

all comments welcome

 

[Greeny.]

[trile]

jungle camouflage ftw...
but that ain't it

different though

 

[Nomad]

I absolutely love this, best idea, I'm not one for polished engine bays, this however is perfect.

 

[Gally]

Lol again after looking at the pics. I thought it was masked to paint.

 

[Beef-Mc]

It's different thats for sure!

 

[fuel_slut]

Are you kidding me? Looks like someone has hurled all over your engine bay!!

 

[AhmedRSi]

What the hell, this is ridiculous. Looks awful! not a fan sorry!

 

[Leeshez]

Sure is different.

 

[JD]

Think that looks very different, would never do it to mine, but would defo get my attention at a show, nicely done Neil.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Really think you should buy a VW... That looks pretty poor tbh...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yep, that sure is different! And something tells me it will be one of a kind too!

 

[n0rm]

FLOL....aii no MESS'ing there lad

 

[Nafoff]

pmsl at the replies....buying a vw???? nothing to do with anything there....

i am not a fan of polished engine bays.... spending ages cleaning an engine that is going to get dirty asap....there is no engine cover to go back on either...

this is more a humor mod really, for something you don't really see all that much anyways, i couldn't really care...lol

 

[Gray]

Defiantly.... Different!

[Šįk]

..oh dear.

 

[DrR]

On a old golf i'd say yes, clio no.

 

[YA55ER]

i like it in a strange way, should have had abit of yellow/green on the badges were the paint has the stripped off look?

 

[guysy]

Just looks a mess.

If it had a propper theme to it, And propper camo paint effect it could look nice imo.

 

[MattRS182]

i like it.

 

[Paul.]

hhhmmmm:S

 

[Poolie]

Not the biggest fan tbh, 10/10 for effort though =D

 

[jesus]

Messy.

 

[Aluco]

It's what I imagine an engine from a jeep used in jungle warfare would look like.

So kinda cool in a way...

 

[edryn80]

Hmmmmm...

 

[Dave..]

I'll look forward to the finished pics...

 

[Nafoff]

i am genuinely boosted by the lack of vision the members of this club have...

i am so glad i stuck to the turini's and silvervisions....thank you please...lol

and before anyone says i said "all comments are welcome", they still are....

 

[Daniel]

Loving your work bone.

I don't even venture into media anymore through fear of seeing more 'turinis/silvervisions/eibach' mobiles.

Keep up the good work son!

 

[Nafoff]

i am going to ph-ree-bone your mouth tonight daniel....

 

[Daniel]

now THATS what i'm talking about!! Woop woop!!

 

[Winston]

Forcing

 

[renclio]

tbh i quite like it mate, i am a fan of the rat look, but i maybe woulda made it look rusty or something, good effort though

 

[Christopher]

I don't get it. I'm not being closed-minded, either. :S

It's not showy, fine. But it's not ratty/bozo either IMO. Like Winston says, it just looks try-hard ish.

I'd just do it all matte black, keep it stealth. That's not being a sheep, surely?
