Valver - carbon fibre engine bay bits

[Scott]

Carbon fibre engine bay bits sourced on ebay
Before:

After - Inlet manifold cover + spark plug cover:

Then a bit of carbon fibre effect film stuff on the plastics bits to match:clown:

looks allright i reckon. Going to be getting a carbon fibre battery cover soon. Then altering the strut brace a bit so it looks tidier, then eventually some red silicone hoses (heat shield will be replaced aswell don't worry )

 

[Christopher]

The block looks a lot tidier now son.

get that brace and battery tidied up and the heat shield sorted and it'll be even nicer!

[Scott]

yup. i attempted to get the strut brace off yesterday because i was going to sand it to bare meatl then polish it up, but it was mid afternoon and didn't really have much time so going to leave that for a few days

 

[Rich_16v]

A new coolant bottle will help tidy it up

A red rocket cover and red HT leads would look good aswell

 

[Scott]

where can i get red ht leads from? i looked on ebay a while back but couldn't see any

 

[Rich_16v]

The magnecor leads aren't cheap:

You could always just wrap the existing in red hose marginally wider than the lead diameter

and a new correct blue coolant lid

 

[Scott]

thats the orignal thats on, i read somewhere that the blue ones are better for higher pressure. how come they didn't come witht hem on?

Hey scott, those Carbon covers, are they a custom job, or have you got the name for the company who makes them??? I defenietly need some on mine, they absolutely look the part!!! Good job!!!

 

[cat171]

what about a battery cover too?
I'm not normally a fan of them tbh, but i reckon it'll go nice with the rest of the stuff under there.

i got them from a bloke on ebay mate, he'd got 2 inlet manifold covers and 3 spark plug covers and they all sold. i could find out his ebay username if you like so you can contact him to see if he can get any more.

what about a battery cover too?

Getting one soon

 

[dalla]

That would be nice!!! Cheers mate!!!

If your going to be getting some red leads, might as well get this package good value imo.

[Dan@SJM]

the blue ones are higher pressure, and stop localised boiling inside the head. most people loose the caps, and replace them with the brown ones as they are cheaper.

 

[Nafoff]

this guy who sold you the stuff scott is the form owner / founder of the now liquidised company carbon nut...he's probably selling off what he had left

 

[Scott]

oh righty didn't realise that, looks like i got 2 of the last items then. sorry dalla don't think you'll be having much luck contacting him for some.
