mark@vagworx 0 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 During the winter the engine bay had got extremely dirty, and with the show season rapidly approaching, i thought i'd better pull my finger out and do something about it!!Since i've sold the Schrick and reverted back to the standard manifold, i've been wanting to put the standard engine covers back on, as the engine looks quite ugly imo without them. Dubloke, kindly sent me a spare set as i didn't have any.I decided to give them a different look, and with the help of Tommy yesterday, we gave them a good spray over with a secret mix of paint The pics don't do the colour justice, but you'll get the idea.The manifold still needs another few hours spending on it, but hopefully i'll get time to do that before Inters.Just waiting for the charger to come back from Switerland, and the bay should be complete Let me know what you think.[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
