What other little bits can I paint in my engine bay? My mate is selling his red Fabia so I had his cover and oil cap as the match my strut. What else could I paint?

Pull of the skoda badge and do the background in red. Battery cover?

Airbox, battery cover

Can get a black coolant cap , think x40sx has one?

While I'm going to leave the black plastics alone, I'm quite tempted to colour-code my slam panel like in the above photo.

Took the tights off for the MOT, apparently they wouldn't pass with them on !. Oh and thanks you reminded me about my next visit

built for function mostly

Not quite a fabia but a pd130 never the less

That looks impressive jase

Could do pretty much anything you wanted in reality;

Can replace the majority of your pipes aswell, with red being a fairly common colour there will be lots of companies able to supply.

@Korban - Thanks for the mention mate

Very good point Ant, did go a bit mad with the spray can, had a lot left over from spraying my side skirts, but I do have the original engine cover and air box, the battery cover is just stuck on with Velcro and I would most probably remove the strut brace before I sold it as well. The front panel could also be painted back to black so no biggie

Less is more in this case. (ignor the max power cone filter, i run it when cleaning my panel filter)

I primed, painted and lacquered the oil cap, dipstick holder, coolant reservoir cap a couple of months ago (our of sheer boredom)....but the paint layer started to bubble up and crack. Any particular paint I should be using? The same heat resistant stuff used on brake calipers?
