_Shane_ Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well i got the turbo kit removed last weekend and this weekend i got the bay stripped as much as i could and prepped it before it was to be sprayed We wrapped every single wire/loom/exposed part, took awhile to do but def worth taking your time. The loom was removed where possible I decided to use a different ground coat to give the engine bay a richer creamier pearl finish rather than the same pearl as outside. The top coat used was Lamborghini balloon white as per exterior but the base coat was a different color. Plus keeping a completely white bay clean might prove a bit difficult Also sprayed the stock fan shroud a gloss black while i had it removed The end result is i am delighted with the color, its a really nice color and will complement the bay well when the T51 kit is fitted These are some pics i took throughout the day. Would advise not going out on the p!ss the night before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Great job, looks a million times better. Just food for thought could you not modify the back bumper and cut the lower part of it, the bit that sticks back out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
