Engine Bay Change & Tidy

[MarcB]

Here is some pictures of the way my engine bay started life and how it looks now.
Changed it from the silver inlets as the powder coating was rubbish and way too thick.

Had the fuel rail, Top inlet, ECU bracket and the airbox brackets powder coated in a coal black.
Im awaiting other items (Engine Mount & Engine Hoist Hook) to arrive so i can get them powder coated so everything is the same.

Looks awesome mate! Well done.

This. Definitely keep the engine cover off.

 

[LeeRS]

Really like that, nice and subtle oem+ look.
How much did the inlets cost to powdercoat out of interest?

Engine Covers are off and staying off.

Top inlet , Fuel Rail, Front engine hoist hook, ECU / Battery bracket and air box brackets all acid dipped , blasted and powder coated for £43

Bargain. Looks really good mate. I think im going to go for the no engine cover look aswell. Looks mint.

Looks miles better mate. Also, as above, engine cover off looks best.

[Crybert]

Sand the Renault and it comes up a treat!

Engine bay looks great but all the stickers ruin it for me personally

 

[MarcB]

Something that has been boiling my pi$$ for ages is the fact i have a full forge hose kit but a samco air intake.
I was lucky enough to pick up a new air intake and it was a red forge to match my hoses.

The forge intake is not to the same standard as the samco one and its more a cherry red than a Scarlett red like the samco one.

How has the mark on the throttle body lasted this long

The coolant top off bottle is probably the most obscene thing in the bay of the clio. Great job here mate.

Marc as with all your mods. which i am guessing are doubled up instorage... just buy another TB and remove the yellow mark from that one.
:tonguewink:

Coolant bottle top has been changed for a black OEM one as standard.

Thats actually not a bad idea 😂
Everything i have changed i have the original apart from the Air Intake Hose & Exhaust as they came on the car.
Im sending more parts away to get powder coated to match the rest of the bay and then its away to SWR for some more work.:car:
