MartinC · August 10, 2014, 18:57

I like that. What paint did you use?

tomaky · August 10, 2014, 19:11

Trying to figure out if i can be bothered to tart the bay up, its currently very dirty and boring.

mr mr2 · August 10, 2014, 19:13

StuC · August 10, 2014, 19:14

Mine was a PITA! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

tomaky · August 10, 2014, 19:15

StuC · August 10, 2014, 19:21

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:

tomaky · August 10, 2014, 19:35

: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:)

Went a slightly different route.

As you can see, heat shield is a slightly unintentional oddinge s:D

Barney Bear might do my shields at the sides did yours come off easy? anyone know what size socket for the bolts

Barney Bear · September 3, 2014, 17:59

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

s:D bumper, lights etc

tomaky · September 3, 2014, 21:52

Thinking of doing mine blue s:)

StuC · September 3, 2014, 21:54

no1trancefan · September 4, 2014, 13:21

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?

Fin · September 10, 2014, 11:14

Just a quickie... what clips/screws go in the 2 holes nearest the back?
And where do I get them?

no1trancefan · September 10, 2014, 11:21

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

Fin · September 10, 2014, 11:34

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??
