Rob_Mitchell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If your taking the engine out ect, why not paint it the blue? would look naff in that colour imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 i wanted something different to blue mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 i wanted something different to blue mate If your doing a full loom tuck and get rid of all the life support stuff then it might work. Alot of civics and VW's do it, not my cuppa tea though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 yeah mate the fusebox and battery will be in the boot and the loom tucked ect.. i was thinking something abit different than the usual bodycolour and black, i will eventually be going single turbo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Seen this pic on an S14 with a single 2JZ and gold bay the other day...looks good with black IMO, but not sure it'll work with blue!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 here is one similar but different blue, the gold looks similar too but glossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That one looks ok I think but maybe that's because the gold wheels tie it all together??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) i will be having goldish wheels mate too this sort of style anyone know what wheels these are? Edited March 4, 2013 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think if you tie in other things with the colour, it will work, like wheels... intercooler pipes look cool too. Not something i would want but then not everyone would want what i have.. best of luck matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 lol thanks guys didnt think of the intercooler pipes, maybe the bottom ones by the intercooler can go gold but keep the top ones in the engine bay polished. i would need to etch primer them wouldnt i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wewsupra Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 here is one similar but different blue, the gold looks similar too but glossy [ATTACH=CONFIG]165276[/ATTACH] im not to keen ash mate what other ideas you got mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 other option was silver but not too sure, ive sprayed the bottom on an intercooler pipe, its a different gold to the one above so ill have to put it against the car in the side vent and see if it goes. i think it will but the inside of the engine bay will have candy blue and polished parts so the gold bay might make the other parts stand out more which is what im looking for. something to make the candy and shiny parts stand out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 To make chrome/polished items 'pop' you cant beat gloss black! but thats sooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. Have you looked into lairy colours? lime green would look mad, i do still think the more items you colour code to match then it would work... just the bay wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 yeah i will be having gold wheels mate and ive tried the intercooler pipe up against the car ill just try and get the pik sent to the laptop. im not a fan of green to be honest. i did think to do it black but alot of people use black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo grey would look hot! and match the carbon bits and bobs. Gold whore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
