Engine bay pictures/inspiration

[capturedbyjames]

I need some inspiration.

Currently mine's red with a black cover.
I want to keep the black, but ditch the red.

Thinking shine up the RS logo to chrome-ish with yellow behind that.
Then shine up the plunum and fuel rail to chrome-ish.

Any ideas or pics to inspire me would be great.

Currently:

Cheers.

Looks great as it is mate....

I'd leave it as it is. The previous owner wasn't too shabby at all, lol

 

[capturedbyjames]

But i don't like red - lol!

I've got a week off soon, and need something to do!

 

[Laura]

yours is pretty much the same as mine atm lol

 

[Ruffneck]

If you change to yellow, it won't match the induction kit elbow....

:approve: :rasp:

If I'd have kept it, the plans were a Black strut Brace, polish the fuel rail guard and then polish the 'renaultsport' writing, leaving the red underneath.

Ignore the elbow for now.. that can change. Might get an enclosed IK in the spring anyway!

Yellow strut, polish fuel rail, writing and plenum (that is the the 4 pipey bits, isn't it?) then yellow top! Similar to your original plans Dan!

check out makavellis engine bay, PM him for some pics or search it, there were a couple of threads not too long ago about engine bays.

jamie

p.s i think it looks quite good like that actually!

Original or Chrome & black looks the best

 

[DebV6]

Looks good. I want to do mine, have no idea where I would start though!

 

[capturedbyjames]

I like the idea of just chrome and black, i might give that a go!

thats why i left it off for a while, when i was changing my cover and sorting my matched inlets i kept on having to take the brace off
