Post by: swiftlupogti on July 24, 2011, 01:01:50 pm

anyone have any pictures of their engine covers that have been sprayed?

just brought a spare and thinking of getting it done.

i also did the heat shield which needs to be added reeealy quickly lol

i then used refelctive tape on the underneath of both to keep the heat where it should be and not near my intake-i also taped the undeneath of the intake pipe - esp around the maf sensor area

As said in my txt last night, Looks ace Rich. Really original work, ( and cheaper than the planned carbon dipping!)
