[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

[DannyR]

They're all yellow

 

[Millerin]

Mine has changed abit now:

 

[Oz172cup]

^^^ looks awesome.
Got a Blue/white theme going atm. White alloys and guna do the rear diamonds and badges white in the next few weeks. Would love to do the engine white but bit worried about taking it all apart tbh

 

[R-Sport.]

what do people do to clean or replace that manky f***in black carpet at the back of the bay.


some great bays in here.

The power steering tanks really piss me off how s**t they all look. Surely there's got to be a clear one out there that can be used

I thought exactly the same the other day as my engine bay is mint standard apart from that.

I thought of spraying it but that's just going to leave over spray. I may try and paint it finely with a brush.

 

[Millerin]

I just used some black spray paint lol Just use clear painters sheets to cover the engine etc. Literally takes 2 min

 

[LiamR172]

What could i do to make mine a bit cleaner/more tidy?

 

[Millerin]

Personally if it was me:

Change the fuel guard rail to Silver
Change coolant Bottle (Full flush)
Engine Degrease Over power steering reservoir, top of struts and other areas
Battery Cover
Engine Cover (Get custom paint)
Fuse Box Cover Painted
Possibly paint the Renault Sport on the manifold (Take your time!!!)
Some Cable Covers
Spray the black carpet Black (Doesn't have to be perfect as carpet soaks the paint in)

 

[liamo90]

this is how mine sits atm, currently working on it and I should be getting some more parts through the week

I painted mine (On my cup I just sold) with satin black rattle can. Looked brilliant afterwards!

I removed the top inlet first so I could get to more of it as I painted it.

What sort of degreaser? Also, how would i go about washing bits of the bay, i dont really want to be attacking it all with liquids and covering everthing in water?

And what are cable covers, and where would i use them? Haha.

 

[Mr Plums]

My carpet at the back looks new, i cleaned it with interior carpet shampoo and scrubbed it with a brush, then hoovered it.

 

[Millerin]

any engine degreser really. Have a look on ebay or in halfrauds. Try to avoid water. A damp cloth, brush and degeaser is all you need. I use my hose on light mist spary to wash it all down by the reservoirs tanks and top struts etc. Try to avoid water near your electrics and manifold though. All depends if you have that attachment on your hose though
