It's a start, and a slippery slope



The bits are the right shade of blue honest, it's just the flash.






Was this a step too far?

i removed all the lugs on it

compleatly smoothed it to remove all the cast marks

removed the nipples that are used for the pipes that go to the bov etc and moved them to the back

then had the lot powder coated black.

the coil back is behind the inlet at the mo.

as far as i know, its the only one like that.

thanks all
