What To Do With My Rockers *poll*

[DAN-VTS]

Im having a bit of trouble trying to decide what will look right/good in the engine bay. What does everyone think? :y:

Heres the engine bay as it stands at the moment:

Right my choices are Polished rockers which i have sitting in the garage:

My only concern with them is keeping them clean and corrosion etc :panic:

Or im thinking powder coated white rockers? Its different and if you've seen my car you will know i have white wheels and chevvys etc so would match.

But theres also other choices like black? that would look pretty good too.
Any help me out?

Spray them a lush Kandy/Wicked red colour

You know you want to ;)

That manifold could be heat-wrapped and covers cleaned up and painted in general to get a better look to the engine bay :y:

[jonezy]

did you use wet and dry? if so what grit.

would autosol alloy polish work on this.

[Predator_R32]

i say do them red fading into black, someone on here or SSC did them like that and it looked quite good imo

othre than that id polih them or paint them black

i quickly used 400, then 800 then 1200 then used standard autosol not the luqiud stuff but the cream. Literally a 5 - 10 min job. will do them properly to get them proper bling in the summer.
