Red Engine Cover

[srhutch]

Thinking of sourcing a replacement engine cover and painting with Red Crackle Paint

Tried to do a quick photoshop, but finding it hard to get the right effect.

Not mine, just a library pic.

Too lazy to go outside

You need to do the intake on the other side too

Looks good - go for it

I like that

Got me thinking

 

[Swiftly]

I'm liking the look of that

 

[pvr]

No, don't like that. I prefer OEM parts.

What about your storm knob

It will be an OEM part anyway, just a painted one

And I will have the original to restore to OEM

 

[pvr]

Ok, more OEM colours then

CF - yes, chrome caps - perhaps, painted - no

I will paint it Imola Red then.

I think that would be OTT.

But will PS tomorrow if I get chance

Red tops are for Vauxhall's. Don't do it!!

I think it will look good... Loved the red top on my s2k.

Although... Imo the engine bay is covered in way too much plastic to be good looking...

The good old toyota 3gte red top fitted to the gen 6 celica was a pretty looking red engine!

I don't like it. It just isn't BMW M.

Not sure about it, sorry. Perhaps I would spend the money on a cross brace instead as you don't have one.

He's got a strut brace - that's not his engine :wink:
