14N Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok so the voices in my head told me to paint my plenum and throttle body orange. When I ignored them they started shouting until I gave in and did it to shut them up. They also told me to get a pair of carbon battery and brake fluid covers. I'm glad the voices persisted now, as I really like it combined with the carbon covers. I think I've finished now.... And before anyone mentions it, yes I do have a '- Battery +' decal 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 looks awesome Ian! Love carbon and orange! Might ditch my carbon covers and get original covers dipped with blue decals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not keen on the plenum, sorry bud. Too much orange in there now for me. Carbon covers look nice though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Cheers guys Not keen on the plenum, sorry bud. Too much orange in there now for me. Carbon covers look nice though I wasn't sure how the orange plenum would look and knew it wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but for the sake of £20 on materials and a couple of hours with the spanners, I figured I'd give it a go. I still wasn't sure even after I'd painted it. But once I refitted it and then started to put everything else back on, I decided I liked it. I did also paint the battery and fluid covers orange, but this was WAY too much Tango. After a failed attempt at painting the dots and lettering on the covers black, I decided carbon was the way forward and figured the orange lettering would finish it off. Like most things I've done, it was a suck it and see exercise. And I like how it concluded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you supposed to run a Zed on Super Unleaded then? Isn't 95RON okay? I had to use 95 over in Ireland the other week as thats all they had. I know HR has knock sensors etc but it still didnt feel right somehow in my head...felt like I was feeding her with crap. Anyhow she ran fine but glad to get back & fill up with 99. Maybe thats why the place is full of euro boxes and very very few performance cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
