I have a MY00 DBM Turbo, I have replaced the side and front repeaters with clear ones and am now looking for idea's of what to do with them ugly orange vent things below the front repeaters.., Was thinking of maybe spraying Matt black.

Just wondering what other people have done and maybe some pics...

Cheers Guys

I sprayed mine matt black last weekend. Bought a tin of plastic primer and a tin of matt black from Halfords. It only took a few hours as the paint dried pretty quick in the sun. Looks much better than orange .

 

You can also strip the orange paint off to leave them black

My choice is to colour code them


DR Motorsport paint codes

 

Hmmm, bugger.....I assumed it was actually orange plastc

 

I could be wrong myself

 

Paint them black IMO,thats what I did to mine aswell.

The white ones do look good however so colour coding might be worth while.

 

colour coded

 

Silver every time

 

you can strip the orange paint off them i did this using thinners and underneath they are black but its a faded black then i simply sprayed matt black paint over them gave them a couple of coats and bobs your uncle the look better in black on a silver car IMO sorry got no pics cos its the other halfs car and he aint took no close ups

 

I colour coded mine the same as the bumper.

 

i just removed then drilled holes into the resonator box!

 

Spray em black....they do seem prone to stone chips tho

 

Any idea's how you get them out?, just so I dont break it!

Small flat head screwdriver and a bit of cloth to protect the paint and they just pop off

 

From the top

 

I just removed the entire resonator box....actually, I left a little bit of the neck where it goes through the wing and into the airbox. Sounds much better

 

They're just orange plastic, the black ones fitted as standard to the P1 are just normal orange ones that have been sprayed black. I need to respray mine as there's a few bits of orange starting to show through.

 

you could always fit an early version bumper, problem solved

 

Spray them black, it gives the bumper a little more definition
