Liquid Yellow Engine!

[LadySarah]

Just started on my engine... colour coded few bits today, got lots more to do yet but thought I post a pic now anyway...

 

[recaro182]

Wow! That looks awsome, especially like the good finish on the air filter!

Just needs some engine polishing to finish it off.

 

[Chris n nic]

Looks very nice! I wouldn`t do too much yellow tho...maybe the Renault Sport writing but that would be it for me

I think that's all the yellow now, might get some yellow hose though...
Gonna get manifold polished next...

[Englebert]

Too much imo! Would of done the engine car cover and left it. Looks a bit like a JCB now.

[GarethM]

[dannyboy172]

Looks great...like the air filter box...tempted to get mine done!

 

[The Big Yin]

Dont polish it go black like Maz i think that would look muh better

Otherwise very nice - must do mine soon - DIY or Bodyshop ?

 

[spirez]

Polished or chromed would look mint. Nice bay!

Could do with a cover for the battery

 

[LadySarah]

i

 

[LadySarah]

Sorry about that ^

Cheers for the good response guys!

I was going to polish, hadn't thought about going black actually... that would probably look pretty good.

It was done at the bodyshop, going to get a cover for the battery made next week.

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Looks nice!

 

[Lou]

Looks lovely!!

 

[bunzee]

[lawrence]

mmmmm muchos minto! very nice, just need a black silicone inlet hose and some chrome strut top covers from hillpower. polish up the plenum and fuel rail guard then black renault sport writing mmmm nice!

actually powder coat the plenum and fuel rail guard and strut top covers satin black

Too much yellow for my liking, carbon would have worked well against the yellow imo.

 

[Alan]

No need for the airbox and fusebox cover to be done.

 

[LadySarah]

No need for the airbox and fusebox cover to be done.

To be honest there was no need for any of it to be done!

I'm happy with it, and it does look great in the light with the liquidyness

 

[lawrence]

forget the standard, modding is sacrilage brigade! what do they know, looks great and defo different imo

 

[Rich]

Not to sure on the Airbox may be a touch to much (nice finish though), but the rest looks good.

Deffo black for the inlet with polished RenaultSport logo and a polished fuel rail cover with black in the recesses.

Looks good Sarah, adds a bit of food for thought

 

[ChrisE]

Looking good dude! :approve:

Doesnt get hot ? Personally i would use high temp paint if i was gonna do anything in the engine bay

 

[Spammy]

I've done mine with standard paint and laquer, done my dads 182 too. Middo has done many and they're all fine.

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

That looks very nice

thanks mate The engine cover will get 'warm' nowhere near hot enough to damage any paint work. I've had my cover on for over a year and have had no problems, the sticker hasnt even peeled.

 

[cliovicky]

Ah yeah suppose your right i have painted the Renault sport logo on my engine and fancy doing some more bits to it .

 

[Middo]

yeah the renaultsport and plenham etc. need hammerite, or heat resistant paint - but the engine cover and general plastics in there are fine with well prepped conventional paint.

 

[Turkish]

Another suggestion could be anthracite to match the wheels and contrast the yellow rather than black or polishing.

 

[Nafoff]

very very nice sarah

don't think you should go polished though for anymore..has to be a dark colour for contrast or as loony says go for the anthracite look......

now can't wait to start on my bay....
