Cragus Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Hi guys, Going to give my engine a little bit of a dressing next and was looking for some inspiration. My z is black so i am embelishing it with touches of red. So thinking of red bits like hose kit etc, bits of carbon and some bling polished bits. A recent picture of your bays would be appreciated Especially would like to see if anyone who has painted red battery/fluid surrounds with carbon coverings.....anyone, no, anyone? Cheers guys Quote
Stew Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Shire and Clarkie. I have painted bits red. Quote
Cragus Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 I knew clarkie would be along....his engine bay is pretty! lol Wheres the pics Stew? Quote
Husky Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 shires, he told me to eat off it last time and tbh i would happily it was so clean Quote
martinmac Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Black red and carbon work well IMO. I have a fair bit on since this pic but as I dont have my car at the moment this will have to do. Quote
Ian Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Winter project is to polish the timing cover Quote
Cragus Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Yeah, liking the black/red/carbon/bling look! Ever thought of painting the surrounds of your lids red martin....that would be sweet. Quote
martinmac Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 The lights will be replaced and there is more carbon and some replacement bolts in there now. Plenty to do over winter. Quote
Cragus Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Thats pretty tidy Ian.....i have never seen the square shaped polished coolant bottle! Also like the black plenum - is that powdercoated or painted? Not sure about the timing cover- i think i prefer the carbon covers Quote
Ian Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Plenum is painted but its starting to flake Need to get it redone unless I can get a cheap Cosworth Quote
Cragus Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Plenum is painted but its starting to flake Need to get it redone unless I can get a cheap Cosworth What about a polished plenum? Not fancy that? Quote

waylander Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 cool, makes me want to spend more money on my engine bay dressing. I sssooooooooo dont have the money to spend on this at the moment but looking at other members pictures on this post they all look Quote
shire350Z Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Cheers for posting mine up danny only just seen the thread! Few more bits for mine to be done also for the new year but strugglling on what to do now! But always remember first thing to do in the engine and cheapest mod off all is to make sure the engine bays spotless first or its pointless spending a fortune in there! As im sure alot off the guys will agree Quote
H5 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Yep, shire's right - gotta clean the hell out of it first. Quote
