Say it how it is Mike!!!

Nice idea (not liking picture) Did you get id done professionally or by a mate

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Looks proper good IMO

 

[CocoPops]

Very impressed mate.

I think it adds a very individual feel to your car.

As to those that dont like it, it looks a hell of a lot better than the now commonplace lexus lights and other associated crud that people attach to the exterior.

 

[Red Clio 52]

Unique...... very nice, but on the wrong car. It would look good on my Yaris.

What sort of paint was used, its look really good but it could flake off if they havent used the correct heat rated paint!

it is an 80 but dont think its near 102 but have to get it on the RR

as for all who dont like fair play - i did say to the girl that it was a french car so no jap but wot she has done is fine by me

as said above somethin different to seeing lexus lights on cars all the time or the "sponsors" down the side of the door

persealant paint was used but not sure of the exact colour - its mostly green with blue purple and balck in it

end of the day ive had a majority of people liking it - most aprreciate it and i knew it wouldnt win everybodys hearts lol

 

[andy_leitch]

weve talked about this way too many times. The engine cover doesnt actually get that hot. You can paint it in normal automative paint. There are quite a few on here that have colour coded their engine bays in mondial blue uising the exact same paint that they have on the extreior of their cup.

Ta, Andy

 

[Boydie]

plain is boring lol

u would need something on the cover aswell as the colour coding to set it off imo

 

[Boydie]

getting a battery cover made aswell to cover up the ECU,T-box and fuse. having a digital voltage display moulded in aswell to make it a bit different

going for same colour but dont know if ill get a pic put on it! watch this space

 

[madcowz]

Looks great, Manga can go on any car.

Soo much better than aircraft wing sized spoilers or baz exhausts.

[MattyK]
