Got myself a spare rocker cover and inlet manifold. Unsure weather to polish or paint. Fancy uploading pics for inspiration?

Depends how easy u want up keep

Well its no show car lol. Just after tidying up the bay abit. Love the polish look but being put off by how much time is required to do it. Didn't really want to pay to have it done but if i go for paint iv got no choice really.

If you polish them you could easily lose an hour a week to keeping them nice!

If that sounds too much just powdercoat them! ;-)

Pic a colour

Powder coat

Cars yellow but think yellow bits will look to much. Maybe silver or black

Yellow on yellow looks too obvious to me....Matt red crinkle on the cam cover and inlet would look good,a bit like a Ferrari?

Put that with a polished boost pipe and fuel rail and you've got the makings of a nice bay ;-)

Red crinkle paint looks great. Anyone got red in the bay so i can visualise it. Not sure if a red inlet would go? Rocker would look nice tho.

Blue always looks nice under yellow too

Or purple

Brite facking purple

Pete got red rocker n inlet

Lol. Im after subtle really. So matt red could be good on the rocker. Unsure about inlet too. Then i could tie my calipers up with it and paint them red too. Hmmm

Or matt black and blue hoeses eeeeeeverywhere

Iv gone for black hoses because i wanted it to look oem just subtle clean look.

That was my other view

Petes is red with black oem spec hoses

Looks cool

That does look smart.

Cheers dude

mine used to be like this.

 

 

 

but after years of neglect the polished parts became tarnished so now the inlet manifold,fmic and abd intake are now painted black,so i would say polishing can look good if you keep on top of it but if you dont think you would then powder coating is the best option

Oooo whats that panel on the left ?

They were fitted on Audi S3 and tt,don't fit correctly on slam panel but can be made to fit

Here's mine its red my phone has made it go abit pinky :S just a spray paint job, 911 oil cap and the coilpack wiring cover. (don't worry I don't have the dv anymore)

My engine bay on yellow..

I chose powder coated mirror silver and I still have to put my bam manifold on which is also powder coated

That blue goes well with yellow. Mine is yellow, been try to decide what colour I want the hoses, rocker cover, inlet manifold etc

Really like that chrome look powdercoat. Do u mind me asking how much you paid so i can get a rough idea. Think ill have them both done in that.
