Painted engine cover

As promised here's a pic of my plastic engine cover now it's had a coat of Merc silver (what he happened to be painting at the time). I think it looks ok, just gonna clean the bloody engine bay now as it makes everything else look shit lol! notsure.gif :think:

Looking good mate I think it needs a vx logo on the circle bit on the cover in black would look the nuts.
I need to get one of these vec covers for mine.

Looks different chap, I agree, it needs a couple of other bits painting to help it all match :thumbup:

Paint your air box matching then do your cam cover in a different colour.

And a nice aluminium pipe from the air box to the TB burt 😃

You're all right there guys it does need summat to break up the silver. Gotta order another sticker from the shop and have been meaning too since before I got it done lol! Waitin for my new cold air feed and k&n panel filter to arrive hence why the cold feed is missing. Prob gonna get another cam cover and body colour that I think next. But yeah defo needs a badge or summat, maybe a blitz? Thanks for the positive comments guys. Prob would've got abuse on vvoc lol!! :thumbup:

Just please what ever you do don't put a blitz sticker on it. Blitz don't do nout for us and would look stupid in my eyes. Just a nice vx logo or the companys you have of kidded parts
