coulour theme for engine

13th May 2009, 18:22

right i put up a thread awhile ago on what colour to do my rocker cover, but i want to do the block the same colour as the rocker cover, fan and strut brace aswell.

my car is silver and the wheels will most probaly be balck or dark grey, but i am not sure what colour will go well with the silver

here is a pic of a vts but mine will be on a vtr

14th May 2009, 21:59

^^^^^^

14th May 2009, 22:14

black / white?

14th May 2009, 22:21

black and silver would go well

14th May 2009, 22:28

blue maybe

14th May 2009, 23:00

cheers everyone i was thinking a dark colour

hi alex what kind of blue are you thinking

15th May 2009, 21:43

15th May 2009, 21:46

Ive got a silver westie and am going for a blue and black theme on the inerior and in the engine

15th May 2009, 22:11

Like a posi blue/S2 rallye blue one like that kindove colour.

I also reckon lime green would look nice if you have lime green brake caliers

15th May 2009, 23:20

i think the blue could look quite good, and yeah a darker blue colour

15th May 2009, 23:30

Yeah I just think if you go silver it would be too silver!
Where as blue (especially like a posi blue) is universal and goes with practically every colour.

15th May 2009, 23:53

yeah i know silver would't be great for like rocker strut brace and everything

but i was thinking something like dark grey but not sure what that would be like on the fans and block

15th May 2009, 23:58

Maybe you could do posi blue and baby blue or navy blue??
Just a few more ideas really

You got me thinking aswell now

Got me thinking about doing my car up before its even properly drivable

16th May 2009, 14:42

yeah me to

and mine is not driveable atall

16th May 2009, 15:02

if i ever get my hands on a vts engine im doing it the same as the original pic but with lime green instead of red and doing the gearbox black insetad of silver

16th May 2009, 16:47

that would look prettey intresting

17th May 2009, 01:10

What do you think of dark green not to sure but it could work im not sure though

17th May 2009, 09:58

not to sure about dark green

17th May 2009, 19:22

blue with silver or grey ... would look sweet

also get some samco hoses in blue to match

yeah blue seems to be quite intresting but , what blue to go with though

17th May 2009, 21:29

ithink the above red and silver theme is the cleanest contrast, thats what im in the process of doing myself

17th May 2009, 21:33

what do people think of yellow though

18th May 2009, 08:13

gash in a word, yellow on a black or posi blue car

I was gonna do yellow, but couldnt find any yellow hammerite so ive done red like my DP.

18th May 2009, 22:21

what colour do you reckon db_sax but it will be the strutbrace aswell and possibly the calipers.. will also have dark wheels which is now making me think going yellow

but as tom said i do not think it would go well with silver so i am thinking now

dark grey rocker and strut brace
with grey block
with red or yellow fans
and red or yellow calipers

19th May 2009, 06:39

grey looks too normaly for my liking. Red goes with just about anything and is an agressive colour which is why i done mine in red. Yellow suits blue better rather than silve rimo.

19th May 2009, 11:05

go for something original like limegreen or ST orange! everyone had blue and red, it just gets borin.

I enjoy looking at something different

19th May 2009, 16:57

yeah i know but i think with a grey block the yellow fans would look good lol

or even

orange
green

and other clours for the fan and brakes, and i think a bright colour fan would look good through my widemouth

19th May 2009, 16:58

double post

Yeh true, it will show the colour contrast more if you go for the bland grey, will look professional mate.

Persoanlly id do green grey block thinking about it mate

Or baby blue goes well on silver

19th May 2009, 18:58

yeah so do you think a grey block and rocker with say yellow, baby blue, orange or even green fans and calipers and possibly a few more bits to do with that clour

19th May 2009, 19:00

I rekon its between baby blue and Kawasaki green

Blue looks more laid back the green looks more aggressive.

19th May 2009, 19:04

i am really undecided now isn't saxo_89's kawazaki green

19th May 2009, 19:06

id do baby blue

19th May 2009, 19:07

what kind of blue's are there in the halfords spray paint collection that would look good

19th May 2009, 19:15

tht engine looks sooooooooooooooooooooooo nice lol i wnt it

19th May 2009, 19:19

yeah that engine does look very nice

20th May 2009, 12:41

im thinking black and white now, white cam covers, gloss black plug cover, white silicon induction hose. but i have a green bloody filter!

20th May 2009, 17:25

that would look great mate what do you think of mine

dark yellow fans and calipers

with a dark grey block and rocker cover

20th May 2009, 18:53

yellow radiator fan? coloured fans arent my thing really, look a bit cheap imo. grey rocker cover would be good though

20th May 2009, 18:58

tbh, VTR rocker covers look good in 2 styles

match the car

leave as a silver top

both ways, yours would look better silver (since your cars silver) but if you go with a different colour id love to see pics

yeah i think yellow fans would look good though you wont see much of it just a little just to add clour to it

20th May 2009, 20:28

ive now started polishing my rocker covers, nice change of pace! not sure if im going to carry on or spray them, either white or anthracite now. add blue silicone hoses and i think it could look good?

20th May 2009, 21:14

polished rockers normally look good mate

30th May 2009, 11:55
