Sort that blue hose out and it will look excellent. Ridiculously clean though! Do you ever drive the thing rather than think about the next mod? :P

...and as spotted by Joe, Happy Birthday too!

That was my old engine bay (But it had a yellow PH Toxicated sticker on the tank cover. The red looked good through the mesh. I miss that car :(

Quite like the finish on the cam cover & plug cover. Who did the nice job for you? Cheers.

I quite like it. I think it may be a bit better if the spark plug cover was different though, just to break it up and contrast a bit. Yellow with black writing maybe? I have just finished making a (real :P ) CF plug cover for mine and I have the same gold Pro-bolts as you. What type of jubilee clips are they, seem to have a nice ribbed edge?

Yum. Would prob just be plug cover I'd be after as I'd want to do a contrast as well. Prob body colour engine cover or maybe crackle finish.

You fancy making another real cf one for me?

Cheers.

Yeah I was tempted to get the spark plug cover done brilliant yellow but didn't want it to look too bling with the polished tanks etc so went with the black cf to tone it down a bit

Not really :lol: It takes along time to do to get it to fit right, not really worth the effort TBH. Would be much easier to just skin a plastic one. Costs very little in materials it's just the time factor.

There nice aren't they,titanium from pro bolt :P


Maybe not the same as me then I went for the race spec ones with holes -
