Stu_Fraser Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Here are some pics of my engine bay with the carbon fibre effect engine covers that Hong Kong Nic can get a hold of. I must say that the finish of these is superb and the anodised bolts from Envy really set it off, if I dont say so myself Anyway here they are, enjoy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Very nice Wonder if someone could do one for the NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Very nice Wonder if someone could do one for the NA. Yes me.... Trig, if you send me your engine cover (and any other bits you want 'carbon fibre-ised') I can get it coated for you. The engine cover is a 5 minute job to remove and the car is still perfectly driveable without it. It would take around 3 weeks from you posting, to getting it back. Looking Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Here are some photos of Stu's engine cover and some dash panels, which shows the finish a little better. I can also get engine covers and dash panels laminated in real carbon fibre, I'll post photos when I get the first sample back later this week.

Nic Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Nic, Mine will be posted Thursday.Sorry for delay. Okay thanks Doug, I guess I will receive early to mid next week in that case. If anyone else want to send me their engine cover this week, I could get them done at the same time as Doug's. Price for carbon look £50 plus postage.

Nic Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 hi nic , have these been tested for heat reaction , what sort of turnaround are we looking at ? ive had mine painted silver , but it has heat damage allready Peter, the company I'm using does a lot of other engine covers and they told me heat should not be a problem. It would take around 3 weeks, 1 week airmail here, 1 week to get coated, 1 week airmail back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 have you got any already done turnaround is to long , as i use the car every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 have you got any already done turnaround is to long , as i use the car every day No I don't have any at the moment. The engine cover is mainly cosmetic, your car would still be perfectly usable without it. It's a 5 minute job to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 the chap that painted it for me a couple of months back told me not to drive the car with it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 the chap that painted it for me a couple of months back told me not to drive the car with it off Why what was he worried about? All that is underneath are the coil packs and the cam pulleys, mine is off at the moment and still perfectly drivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
