    The rocker AND the manifold cover I painted with high temp paint.

    You do get a smoother finish if you spray your rocker, but using high temp paint means you get a really deep enamel finish that laquer can't give you.

    AND, the better you are the less obvious brush strokes u leave behind.

    I thought they were but S60tsy looked to be in a different place to mine.

    I really like the painted covers I thought they'd been done professionally or you were a master of the rattle can.

    Thats my old VTR's bay, dont have any of my new one !



    Lots of cold air, cheap as chips!
  53. #53
    Thats alot of air feeding action
  54. #54


    Mines totally standard at the mo, but pretty clean as you can see.

    The Grey parts are letting it down a bit. I've tried autosol'ing them but that doesn't seem to be working. Is it worth sanding them down then using the autosol? Or just go all out and give them a rub down and spray? If so what colour?

    Btw, mattwesty, what colour has your rocker been sprayed?

    yeah accept the ax is 1.4 and the vtr is 1.6
    __________________
    And the AX gti pushes more power although less torque but as this thread seems to be about engine bay styling and seeing as the GTi block has the same exterior proportions, and identical fueling system bar the style of injectors (quad instead of single jet) then I figured it was relevant to the thread

    I came from a bloke of SSC, I dont think it looks to bad but I regret not getting spec- R.

    In my defense though I brought it before all the other spec R it just took ages to arrive.

    I replace it with a spec r in the near future as it'll drive me mad.

    I have an OCD type thing about stuff matching.

    This is the car featured on Ebay advertising Spec-R stuff they even do a P/S reservoir .

    i'll get a pic up 2mrw of mine.

    im a bit skint at the mo, so me and a mate built a kit usin the filter from my old motor as a temporary measure til i start bankrollin again.

    will get a pic up in the mornin and it is quite comical but it works which i am quite proud of. i cant feel any loss of power so i thought fcuk it i'll leave it on.

    by the way it cost £20 in parts except the filter which i already had(apparently it is by powertec but unbranded!, bought it from a carnoissuer shop and it did have a powertec label and invoice stuck to the box?!?!?!)

    dont think there will be many requests for me to do custom kits tho! LMBO

    watch this space!!
