A little bit more bling in the bay


Crb

Recommended Posts

Since getting my polished plenum and bonnet catch I've been a little obsessed with my engine bay. Buying all sorts of things to clean it as well as some proper tools to take things apart.

 

Bought a spare engine cover from humpy and popped down to see my mates at the local friendly hydro dippers AquaGraphix. Now I've had my interior dipped with gold carbon and I absolutly love it and I could of gone this route with the engine but I wanted something just a little different for the bay.

 

I chose a brushed aluminium pattern on top of a deep red finished off with a slight shimmer of pearl. I've got to say it looks superb in the flesh

I was so impressed with it I enquired about having some more parts done in it. Also as luck would have it they also needed some new flooring for their new premises. So a deal was struck and a few more parts were taken out of the zed and sent on their merry way.

 

I also bought a red engine bold kit from Tarmac, some conduit and a samco sports intake hose.

 

The bolt kit looks awesome apart from I was missing one of the larger washers (also noticed one or two have started to rust) but hey they were £35

 

After spending all day fiddling around with plastic the conduit/tie wraps/tape..... The wife came out and said "that looks sh!t" ..... And I had to agree with her...... So I took it all back off

Finally I haven't put the samco in because I think I prefer the black one, so that will be up for sale soon.

 

Oh and I sprayed the strut brace black

 

Anyway Before

I love the badge you've fitted on the front bumper. Is that a Likwidart badge? If not can i ask where you bought it from?

 

It is a likidart badge, but I'm not sure if he does these anymore. They came already on the car so I can't take the credit for those.
