Crb Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Since getting my polished plenum and bonnet catch I've been a little obsessed with my engine bay. Buying all sorts of things to clean it as well as some proper tools to take things apart. Bought a spare engine cover from humpy and popped down to see my mates at the local friendly hydro dippers AquaGraphix. Now I've had my interior dipped with gold carbon and I absolutly love it and I could of gone this route with the engine but I wanted something just a little different for the bay. I chose a brushed aluminium pattern on top of a deep red finished off with a slight shimmer of pearl. I've got to say it looks superb in the flesh I was so impressed with it I enquired about having some more parts done in it. Also as luck would have it they also needed some new flooring for their new premises. So a deal was struck and a few more parts were taken out of the zed and sent on their merry way. I also bought a red engine bold kit from Tarmac, some conduit and a samco sports intake hose. The bolt kit looks awesome apart from I was missing one of the larger washers (also noticed one or two have started to rust) but hey they were £35 After spending all day fiddling around with plastic the conduit/tie wraps/tape..... The wife came out and said "that looks sh!t" ..... And I had to agree with her...... So I took it all back off Finally I haven't put the samco in because I think I prefer the black one, so that will be up for sale soon. Oh and I sprayed the strut brace black Anyway Before After Thanks for looking 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Looks great Crb. I'd definitely consider some bonnet lifters so you can ditch the bonnet stay, ...oh and maybe a nice radiator cap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crb Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Bonnet lifters defo on the list...... But I kind of like the rad cap because it's mostly in japanease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks great but you really need to treat yourself to a set of bonnet dampers.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crb Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Bonnet dampers bought and installed..... Didn't think it would make that much difference but they look fantastic... Wish I did sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a likidart badge, but I'm not sure if he does these anymore. They came already on the car so I can't take the credit for those.
