Looks lovely mate.

 

Are catch cans a pretty standard mod on 350s? Do they breathe quite heavy and create a lot of vapour?

 

Usually only for FI, I want one for a bit of bling, even if it's not actually needed.

 

Thanks for the comments too guys! :thumbs:

Fairly busy day of tinkering in the sunshine (And ducking inside when it chucked it down).

Also finally got round to fitting Fly Boy's mirror mod, but managed not to save the video of the mirrors folding. I'm sure you can use your imaginations! :)

 

Thanks for looking! :thumbs:

Hi mate how did you paint the part underneath the grill. Does it come free from the bumper or is it a case of masking it off? Thanks!

 

I took the bumper off as I changed the side reflectors at the same time. You could definitely just mask it whilst on the car though. Just a few coats of Plastikote and it looks really good. I've had it done a few months now and there's no sign of wear.

Intake tube round the wrong way?

What paint did you use on your plenum? Looks lice? Did you buy your intake pipes like that also, so did you paint them too?

Possibly as the MAF plug does look in the wrong place, ...but from what I can see it also looks like the rubber surround for the oil filler cap is trapped under the plenum! :surrender: Doh. :lol:

 

Look's good though Paddy apart from that. :D;)

If you check the picture I trapped the rubber around the oil filler cap in the plenum! :)

Used BBQ / Stove paint which I got from Homebase.

The intake comes like that. It's a Takeda bought from Tarmac.
