djrm Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Seeing as I am new here, could you kind people please guide me towards the best engine dress-up parts / websites / guides? I am after making the engine look fantastic, I am leaving the exterior / interior of the car pretty standard all but some new wheels maybe.... Just thought seeing as I now have a car that has such a great engine, might as well make it shine and look as fantastic as it sounds / drives! Thanks Quote

Definitely Shire has one of the best Engine bays from engine dress, but as John says it depends on what you want. I have gone painted plenum and throttle body where as some people prefer polished. Its all personal. How could you forget mine John!! Quote
Husky Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I haven't seen it yet, thats my excuse and im sticking to it Quote

djrm Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 Thanks for moving it... now you have to delete the other thread I started before seeing you move this one LOL... Anyway - what I am after is maybe replacing some pipes with blue ones, painting the engine cover, polishing the plenum and maybe some carbon fluid / battery covers... A bit of everything really! I know that the painting / polishing is DIY for me which is fine, just wanted to know if there was a website that had a lot of pipes / chromed engine bits for sale... Quote
BladesGrant Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Samco is a good place to start for pipes. If you are going carbon you could get a coloured carbon engine cover, think carbon coops does these. Quote
clarkie34 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Polished plenum available here viewtopic.php?f=26&t=35951 Coolant hose kit by Samco from Demon Tweeks. Polished header tank and power steering tank from Chilli Red Carbon battery/fluid covers from Scottsoulby if he is still doing them,also surrounds from Scott. Engine dress bolt kit Chilli Red.

Very nice bud I can vouch for shires engine bling too as i saw it earlier this year, looks very tidy and well put together. Mine for what it's worth.. You know this is going to turn into another photo whore thread! Quote
