Looks great; nothing wrong with that! Just very red s:) :) s:)
I like that. What paint did you use?
Trying to figure out if i can be bothered to tart the bay up, its currently very dirty and boring.
Very nice red looks good

How did you do the 2 tone with the lettering?
Mine was a PITA! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
Make it blue Stu s;) ;) s;) and the manfold heat shield black haha
Why would I want a rubbish colour like that Tom?
I have been thinking about having a black heat shield though. Also need to swap out my rusty bolts. s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
:O mines black high temp, ots about the only heat shield i didnt rip out the other week haha they were worse for wear and one was rattling ha. Ive also painted my cat shields with the same stuff massive improvment when not running nappy
Quote from: "mxcum167"I like that. What paint did you use?
Just an all purpose rattle can and permanent marker pen for logo.
De-cat manifold sprayed satin black bbq paint and polished heat shields next s:) :) s:) .
Must do something with the cat as the nappy is missing and would look good with a colour s:) :) s:)
Went a slightly different route.

Barney Bear might do my shields at the sides did yours come off easy? anyone know what size socket for the bolts
All the shields come off easy one on the crossmember is tricky but can be done without taking the bumper off
but far easier to remove the lot s:D :D s:D bumper, lights etc
Thinking of doing mine blue s:) :) s:)
Didn't see that coming Tom!?! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Well i wasnt going to paint them baby doo colour s;) ;) s;)
got my cover off at the moment, definately need do all the shields still deciding on colour need some more bracing in there too, quite like barneys, how much is it?
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e269/no1trancefan/mr2mk309141_zps21c8d992.jpg)
Just a quickie... what clips/screws go in the 2 holes nearest the back?
And where do I get them?
for the brace? oh do you mean the engine cover? there nuts on the top two might have check size for you if no one knows off hand
Yeah, just on the cover. I haven't lost my nuts yet... The bottom 2 are missing, seems to be plastic from a broken clip in one hole? The other one just looks like an m6 or something??
im not sure on the name of those plastic fasteners, i just had order a batch for the top of the seat belt plastics i used ebay for those. you could put a post in wanted sure someone has a spare set
OK' thanks for that. I'll try that way.
As a by the way, if anyone is doing this and wants the 2 colour...
Simply paint the raised section the colour you want. Once it's dry, cover it with lip-balm (or something similar). Now you paint the whole thing the colour you want. Once that's dry, wipe the paint off the raised section. The lip balm stops the paint from sticking. (Not my idea, stolen from elsewhere on this forum s;) ;) s;) )
I did try this lip balm trick. I think I put on too many coats though, as it didn't come off properly. Also the edges were not very neat. Might have jut been my technique though.
i wouldnt mind a carbon one if was a bit cheaper, 100 for the engine lid when the spoiler was 245 seems a bit steep
