thought my engine bay was a bit dull. i sprayed the strut tops, and the mounting thing white, makes them stand out a bit more. wanna paint some other parts of the engine bay to make it look more presentable, anyone have any ideas????

before:



after:





also, got a proper ported sub box, and have secured everything down so it doesn't move



comments and ideas are welcome.

Well as you can see the brake fluid tank cap has yellow on it. The proper oil filler cap also should have a yellow top (and dipstick handle) as should the cooling system header tank cap. That was Ford's go at colour coding the fluid maintenence parts of the engine bay.

paint the gearbox and get a new (or clean and spray) the air box

looks good though

[musicdrummer42]

i wanna paint the rocker cover, any ideas of colour? was thinking the same colour as exterior of car. also, got a k&n induction kit, might brighten it up too

[adz]

yeah red i rekon,

how about gettin a front strut brace? do it black or white, or red mayb

Just shut the bonnet

another one of max's stupid comments

[dead_fiesta]

Just shut the bonnet

Got it in one, pointless

[musicdrummer42]

Just shut the bonnet

why? is it because i should be ashamed it's a 1.1???

[dead_fiesta]

Yep!!

Also is that a Infinity Reference Sub ?

I was looking at a couple of them for my install...

Are they good ?

[TomRS1800]

Don't worry Max is an idiot

The K&N will make it look fresh and the rocker cover in red will go well with the rest of the engine and surrounding bay!

None the less you could drop a 2 litre in and have soem Zetec power with looks!

no, it's an SPLX sub. it's got 400w power, only running on a 280w amp. don't know what makes a good sub, as it's the only one i've had. it's very loud though.

[musicdrummer42]

can anyone suggest a paint that will make the rocker cover look good. i know some of these high temp paints are dull, but i want it shiney. the only other option i can think of is powdercoating, but i should think it would cost a bit.

[Max M4X WW]

They are not very pretty in the first place, Its hardly a stupid comment and im not an idiot. I have one of these engines.

Tomo made his engine look nice, But i personally cant be bothered with it. If i get a zetec ill do a few bits but nothing much.

[musicdrummer42]

i agree with you max, but most of the stuff i'm doing is staying on the car when i get a better engine. i might as well do this stuff, like painting etc. now while i have time on my hands, then when i stick the bigger engine in, it'll look great

[Max M4X WW]

Suppose, Thats why i bought chrome strut top things as they stay. CBA with much else chrome though, esp on this engine but on the new one as well. Prefer it all black/new looking.

[musicdrummer42]

bit of an update on the engine bay. coloured the rocker cover to match, and the bonnet holder arm thing. put my old k&n on to see what it would look like. hope you like

[Max M4X WW]

Christ need to get my arse in gear again i think!

[Ghost]

nice, much better then what mine is looking like at the moment

my rocker cover is starting to fade.......i used red heat resitant paint, then sprayed a few coats of radiant red on.


where did you get the red leads??

[musicdrummer42]

cheers. got the red leads from ebay, about 6 months ago. haven't seen any more on there since!

[andyhardy]

The white bits look out of place - surely they should be red or black to match the rest of the colour theme on the car?

Just a thought - rest looks nice though! Just a shame the illusion is shattered as soon as you start it up!

[ant pittaway]

that looks well smart

[musicdrummer42]

andyhardy - yeah, they could be a different colour, but i think the white freshens it up. anyway i can always paint them a different colour in the future.

ant pittaway - cheers

[musicdrummer42]

UPDATE

bought some spax psx front shocks to match my rears.

i had some spax vsx shocks on before, and i must say, these psx one's are a lot firmer than them, which is good because it stops the rubbing over bumps etc.

will get some pics up later.

also looking at getting a white front strut brace, what do you think?

cheers.

pete.

[Max M4X WW]

Im not keen on any of the white in your bay if im honest!

[musicdrummer42]

Im not keen on any of the white in your bay if im honest!

yeah, i'm kinda thinking this now what colour do you think i should do the white parts? the only colour i can think of going with red is...err...red!

[Max M4X WW]

Dunno, I did my bonnet stay thing black but you could buy a chrome one and some strut tops to match.

Also a chrome map sensor plate i guess, If you have the money! or put it back 2 black

[mk3phill]

red and silver,..thats what im gonna do to my 1.1i lol,..the bay is looking nice,.how did you paint the rocer cover,..what did you use??? i need to get mine sorted its looking a bit sorry for itself,.only thing in there is a powerflow airfilter and piece of pipe running down to the bottom from the oil cap ,..think ill take some bits apart and start giveing her a good clean today
