The engine bay in t'trophy...

[dannyboy172]

Thinking of changing the engine cover and i/k for something a little more colourful...what ya think?

Are the BMC i/k ment to be any good, it sounds quite meaty, but no where as dirty as the K&N i had in the 172. lol

 

[Craig]

id personally change the colour of the engine cover to a brighter and leave the i/k

 

[Batman]

maybe do the top part and the oil opening part red so its red and black then change to a different filter maybe a red and carbon viper

 

[Harry_manback]

im yet to see an IK like that look like its fits in a clio. its far too long for the engine bay.

seem people put some silly angels at the end to try and get a CAF in there.

maybe just clean up the metal work and itll look fine.

Yeah the i/k fits crap - its not even secured at the end!! And the CAF (OE) is miles away from it. Previous for that job i'm affraid...but i will sort it!

Nice

I was thinking something like that also mate - something fresh is what it needs The black is just too dull imo.

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

Get rid of the engine cover and polish up the engine. Traophy's arent meant to have engine covers anyway are they ???

 

[dannyboy172]

No trophys aren't ment to have engine covers - don't fancy polishing up all the inlet mani etc, i just can't be arsed. lol

What about red/black

Red/white

Excuse the sh1t PS work lol

 

[Bubbles]

take it off... think of the weightsaving.. lol

 

[Ali]

I'd leave it how it is son! Looks decent enough!

 

[dannyboy172]

Take what off?

Yeah maybe...can't decide. lol

 

[Bubbles]

all your clothes tart

 

[dannyboy172]

pmsl!

 

[Batman]

red n black or maybe all red with the inlets done black

 

[dannyboy172]

red n black or maybe all red with the inlets done black

All red would be good - think i'll go with that.

 

[Gareth]

all red IMHO

 

[Peperami]

The bmc's are pretty good. Chop 10mm off the elbow, will fit closer to the throttle body, giving more room for a caf.

Engine cover needs a bit of tomato on it if you keep it.

 

[A13EX F Trophy No70]

same pic as my other thread but i think capsicum red would be the best option. if you are not polishing the inlet then i'd consider using high temp black paint and just polishing up the renault sport logo

 

[dannyboy172]

Cheers fella - really like that.

 

[dannyboy172]

Decided to pop down to halfrauds earlier and get some red paint - closest i could find to the trophy was ford radiant red...

The tomato...

Damn lacquer - does my head in - lucky this little balls up is in on the reverse of the cover, so you can't see it. I'll patch it up though when i get more paint.

A part from that i got a good finish.

 

[JR]

i would want to fit a caf onto the end of that i/k if its possible. ?

other than that fella i would either remove the engine cover or perhaps get it done in antheracite to match the wheels.

Antheracites not a bad idea - maybe for RWS

Yeah needs a CAF desperately lol! Next weeks work!

 

[ollie]

yummy

 

[A13EX F Trophy No70]

you can get capsicum red at halfrauds i got mine from there used 2 tins of the stuff in various bits and bobs on the trophy.

also got a random renault silver colour for my boot bits and bobs.

 

[Gaz_]

Get rid of the cover its not supposed to have one. First job i did to my 182

 

[CHRISK172+]

If spraying the cover a solid colour, will it need laquering? Is it benefitial?

 

[caymanr26]

dont know where to start danny!

Battery cover,
Samco Induction bend
Samco Water pipes
Apiro hose covers,
colour coded strut brace

as said polish plenham, fuel rail, Air con pipes,

Strut top caps,
fuse box cover,
engine hoist eye chromed/painted
Bailey header tank

fit filter better (using Samco bend)
Fit CAF
Remove acoustic valve for CAF
