Plans are to remove rocker cover paint blue, with new citeron sticker, and possible VTR put on it,

and polished chrome exhaust manifold.

will post up more pics as i go along

what you think?

[SaxoIOW]

plans sound good, check my thread as i cleaned up my bay and fitted the manifold heat shield you want ( i would recomend it, havnt got pics of it yet though). Also will you be paiting the rocker cover the same as the ecu cover?

[DuncanVTR]

ecu cover was already painted, but i just baught some hycote very high temp paint in a light blue, but ecu cover could be getting a new lick of paint at some point, debating what to do with the air feed as its a big black plastic thing, to i plastic prime and paint for cheapness or buy new blue hose? im going for cheapness i think

[SaxoIOW]

i would get some new cool air feed and fix it to the origional scoop on the slam pannel. Have a search on ebay for some, its not to expencive and will look a whole lot better.

[DuncanVTR]

yeah may have a look around, only keeping the car till feb/march time so dont want to spend too much, just clean it up a bit

[Marcus000]

[DuncanVTR]

is that blue tubing off ebay?

[ShockZy]

i thought hed sprayed the tubing. If you did how did you do it?

[DuncanVTR]

no its the blue tubing off ebay you get about 10meters made up of about 3-4 different sizes for about £10 i still got loads left in my boot and some wires in the depth of my engine still to do, more than enough there to do a saxo if you ask me, ive even put tubing on some things that dont need it, just to make it look a little bit better

[jamieross]

you get the blue cable ties with the tubing or separate?

[DuncanVTR]

you get the ties with it, but could do with more as ytou dont get many,

rocker cover come off today for a quick coat, nothing exiting as this to has surface rust :( but it will be brighter lol

[marcusd]

got a link to the tubing?
