Looks like a generic satin black... i use it on my brake callipers when i refurb them for customers.

Close lol matt black b&q BBQ and stove paint.. Very good paint to work with surprisingly!

 

[Jekyll]

subtle, yet effective

 

[BIGASH]

I agree with the above comments the Matt black works really well on the inlets and looks awesome

 

[domsclio182]

Will be changing this weekend so will be a bit of before and after

 

[Jonnysh54]

Does the paint on the inlet have to be heat resistant?

 

[Martyn_182]

Nothing special

 

[chapperzuk]

The engine bay on my Arctic 182 FF. Sprayed it metallic silver the other day and looking to get the engine cover sprayed body colour soon

 

[rob_sri]

Yeah heat resistant is good!

Nice work chapperzuk!

Pity this wasn't cleaner at the time, hoping to be looking sexier on the new one in the next month or so.

These were taken about 2 years ago

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay**

Are you running a catch can, and do you have to connected direct to the air intake elbow? If so why?

I know it's not a Clio, but I just loved this engine so much it's worth showing. My S5 that I sold last year. I took these pics the day after I picked it up in 2008 - had about 40 miles on the clock at the time of the photo, everything so new and shiny. I miss it Awesome engine.

 

[JoeyD]

Woah!

Yes and no.

I had it connected to inlet, making the catch can an intermediate oil trap. The line is still under vacuum.

Its perfectly acceptable to connect the outlet to a small breather filter open to AP though.

[Hudson132]

What hoses have you used to cover all the electrics and aircon pipes? and where did u get them?

thanks

 

[caymanr26]

That's just wire conduit mate - type wire conduit or covers in to eBay or google and you'll find loads of them in all sorts of colours

A company called apiro makes it too - used to be able to get it in Argos!
