Engine cover.... Decisions?

[Austin-182]

Well av just bought a black engine cover from gregg on here, paint is flaking so im going to do it again
what do you think looks best, standard or black?
Also i want the plenum doing as it looks crap now, is this something easy to do? Can anyone tell me how i would get it ofd and paint ect
also got the bolts from davo172 that are much better and well worth the money
cheets lads

Do the cover the same colour as your wheels and do the plenum in black. Would look mint.

Or the other way round.

Standard one looks boring.

out of the 2, black.

But my opinion is to bin it. Mine's been sat under my bed since I bought the car as it just gets in the way. Pointless bit of plastic.

ive had it off for about a week and it looks good but i think it tidys it up with it on, and also stops everything from getting dusty and dirty

Yep, I'd stick with the Black one and do the inlet & fuel guard a nice colour too - as mentioned

Keep is standard, messing with it just looks tacky imo.

Always go with the same colour as the car.

 

[DH_GTI]

Black if you have to have it !

Not seen a black one before and think it looks good irrespective of the fact you want to do it another colour.
