Default Advise on which colour PLEASE!

I really want to paint my inlet manifold while ive got it out to fit an Oil catch can/clean the whole bay properly and do a few bits.

Ive just got a Japspeed catch can in blue and have ordered the blue hoses to go with. Im thinking if I do my inlet blue - its gonna be too much. But if I do it red it'll prob look like a HAPPY MEAL!! White will show all the dirt coming in from the scoop

Any ideas people!?

If you do it any colour it will be easier to clean so if you want white go for it

I painted my spare manifold last weekend. Went for black because it matches my intercooler pipes.

lol its seen better days I know! What gains will I get from a heatsheild and where can I get one ready to fit? I have thought of it in the past but one of many things I plan!

White will look the dogs danglies but i do like the look of your too mit. I thought it would look kinda poo but yours looks smart - and the rad clamps tie the red in too.

I like the anthracite route as Ive been toying with doing my front mount to match the wheels so could be a nice theme
