I know this has been done before but what do you all think? I'm quite pleased with it  :-) :-) :-)  just gonna get 4 x new stainless nuts (2 r gonna b glued where the clips usually go at the bottom for effect).



Just need to sort the rest of the engine bay out now as the engine itself is so dirty it looks like its made of stone!

I used a white plastic primer then the blue is ford Rimini blue and the yellow is a brush on yellow model paint  :-) :-) :-)  I'm pleased with it! I was going to spray the yellow lettering in first then mask off the letters using a craft knife and then spray the rest of it blue so the edges would be very crisp. Thought I would see how steady my hand was first though. Might try spraying the letters next time if I ever change my colour scheme.

You can put studs in the two front holes and use nuts as per the back rather than sticking them on by the way (other have done it previously).
