Had mine polished for few years now and was thinking of painting with stove Matt black enamel

Any pics of Black would be great or any offer colour that might tempt me

Im afraid I dont have any pics of my engine bay, as I have only had my VRS just over 2 weeks. But that is one very tidy looking engine bay mate

not quite black, more of a dirty grey but I am trying yours is missing the extras though :p

Cheers buddy.

I have changed bay over time and now up for doing something different again...

Nice authentic grubby look buddy bet you have taken lot's of time to perfect that...

The use of a cable tie to hold down the reservoir and the coil pack hold down stickers wins it for me..

Black crackle rocks.

thought you might like the colour on those stickers cost me £20 for a set of four, of course they came with some silly 2.0T mk6 coil packs attached, I did think about just transferring them to the Hitachi bolt down ones but it was too big a job so just swapped the coil packs as well. Those stickers work just as well as the bolts on the Hitachi ones, not had a coil pack lift yet and only just checked the plug gaps after 6 ish months of running as opposed to every month before.

the cable tie is a speed fit thing. That stupid metal plate was annoying and when the bolt downs came off it just had to go. As I always have cable ties in the car its never a problem

woo hoo post number 2013 :p

Any excuse for a pic hehe

cheers guys, keep em coming....

Considering blue for mine... atm its standard and dirty

Really must take some better pics of mine.

Are these the cheap models without the high quality plastic covers?

Nothing special under here, just a big plastic tray!!!! V6 2.8

Or in here. 1.4 TSI twin charger

could try something new on octy! do something like my old bay

My engine cover is hanging on the garage wall.

Dont paint your awesome polished bit

If anything keep them and get my bits from pete when we are done and use them

But mate... I have to say , the level of smooth shiny you got you must be nuts

Your bay always strikes me as just AWESOMENESS

Just so well looked after and ooooooo shiny

Going black from that or pink or spotted

It wont tickle you bud

End of the day

U pop that hood

Boom "yum"

Hmm you got a point Lloyd

Ok who has a spare one so i can mess with and paint up , and if not liking can put my shinny one back on....

PM me folks

Must admit, been meaning to get a spare one myself. I got a powder coating system for chrimbo last, but due to living in a poxy cardboard box flat with no drive or garage, I got nowhere to put an old oven to bake stuff. I wanna podercoat mine blue (got black/red/candy blue powders)

I have a lovely place in the rear garden for a powder coating system.

Very cool - I was going to put one of these lumps in my Corsa GSi, but could never decide on which one... and then it got written off before I could do it :(
