mini update
i havent really done much to the car lately

i have gone back to standard lights instead of angel eyes and painted the insides matt-black
i have also smoked the fog lights(which was a right ball ache)

i also remeved that horrible plastic stuff on the B piller that the previos owner put on.
from this

to this

comments welcome

well the angels look really nice but the rings hardy light up and the dipped beam doesnt light up the road much.
im abit stuck with the engine as i want it to look real nice but theres not much to do and hard to make them look smart

Its not hard to make the engine bay look nice!
Autoglym engine cleaner the lot, get strutt brace for £35
silicone hose for about £25
Remove the ecu cover, fuse box cover and the small fuse box cover, rocker covers spray the lot and voila decent looking engine bay!

Maybe fit a raceland which I currently have surplus to requirement!

yh all i used was tint spray on the indecator lenses, not paint as i didnt like the yellow look. the bulb are yellow and glow when indecating.

i have started to clean up my engine bay. its not a fun job at all.

this is how it was before i started.

after hours slaving away this is what i ahve got it to look like

i just spent most of it painting bit with black hammerite and getting rid of dirt and oil parts.
i still have to paint the rocker cover. how do you think white will go?
i havent finished yet there are still more bit to do

Lippy · 1st October 2009, 18:10

white rocker cover id advise against, will get dirty if you look at it...
if you dont clean your engine bay regularly too then not a good color!
cant see piccys as im at work
