My Bay opinions

[jimmy.farrow7]

Right I recently decided to start to bling my bay and choose to do something different and went for orange/blue. It isnt finished i have all my engine bay bits being dipped as we speak just wanted peoples opinions so far as im 99% sure to change the blue conduit for orange.

It's all personal taste jimmy ~ if it was me then that blue would definitely have to go but if you like it then stick with it.

 

Have you seen 14N's engine bay?

 

 

Look's along the same lines as you're trying to achieve. Hope that's some inspiration to you.

I did it blue to experiment with colours and different combinations but im not to keen on blue, so i am going to go with orange and black/carbon i think. Ill update with pictures once ive done some more work

[GMballistic]

I think it will look better the way you're thinking of going with the orange/black & carbon theme.

[KyleR]

I don't like the idea of orange on orange. You're going to have a sunset car with bright orange engine bay, it's just look off in my opinion.

 

I actually like the sky blue. It's completely unique and contrasts against the car

[Mopedmark]

The blue doesn't work at all I'm afraid but it is what you like that counts mate

[jimmy.farrow7]

The blue was an experiment while i have spare time at home i liked it to start with as it was different but i am going with the black/orange. All the parts are currently being dipped in gold carbon,battery cover, engine cover and brake fluid cover. Im also going to get a different strut brace and i am debating a samco hose kit

[Stutopia]

I'm with KyleR, go contrast on a Sunset, you'll never get an orange to match that orange. Sky Blue FTW!

[jimmy.farrow7]

Maybe ill do some more combinations see if i can get it to work in a different way some how :S

[Mopedmark]

It was worth a punt at something different

[Fluke]

Here's a picture of my bay.

 

 

I'd like to take credit for it, but the work was done by MopedMark. I still have a few bit I want to do and when Its finish I will put up a few photos showing the before and afters.

[StevoD]

dont take offence but my opinion is it looks like fisher price i dont mean the work i mean the colours

[Mopedmark]

Let's see what your packing under your bonnet then Stevo

Nothing much other than a nismo CAI, Plastic cover removed and EVo-r From redline fitted im not one for Blingin a bay, most of my Bay is full of Dust from norfolk arena i think mouthwash and other at the meet on the m25 service few months back loved it although Flukes is nice nice balance between chrome carbon and paint if not a little to much fake tan for me

 

But if i was going to it would be like this Function over form

 

[StevoD]

only image i can find

 

[jimmy.farrow7]

Cheers for the tips, still undedicided, just going to keep experimenting till I find a combo I like as everyome has different tastes anyway

[KyleR]

The carbon dipped stuff is good, carbon goes with everything But if you don't like the sky blue, try find another light/bright colour to use instead

 

On the other had, if you're dead set on going orange, then I have this strut brace for sale

 

[jimmy.farrow7]

Ive sent you a PM Kyle

[Crb]

Not sure on the colour scheme but good job on all that conduit tho!!! Took me ages to get just a few pieces on ..... and then I took them all back off because it didn't look quite right on mine.

[Grundy]

Nothing wrong with a bit of experimenting

 

[AliveBoy]

I like the blue, it makes me feel happy

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

I like the blue hose covers Jimmy

 

If it were me I might be tempted to upgrade the strut brace to a shiny one and change the battery/brake covers.

 

I've seen Moped Marks in the flesh and it is amazing, the work on that and the other guys posted on page 1 is top notch stuff - really impressive

 

[jimmy.farrow7]

I like your white engine cover thats different and stands out. The conduit took me about 4 hours to do i think roughly i even managed to get all the tiny 5mm brake fluid lines under the brake fluid cover, will be nice and fun to remove them when i change colour scheme

[jimmy.farrow7]

The strut brace is one of the very next things I am getting Tarmac, what have you got in stock at the moment

[14N]

It's all personal taste jimmy ~ i

 

Taste? No one told me it needed to be tasteful. I must've missed that memo.

 

I kinda like the blue, it's a different and unexpected contrast (which is why I went with orange). I just don't think it works with the orange items you have also painted. It would maybe work better with a more neutral colour, such as black/carbon and some shiny stuff.
