Default under bonnet bling

Once I started i couldn't stop, as is always the case with these cars, added various chrome covers over the last few weeks:-
alternator, fuse box, battery, washer bottle, air-con, brake res,
and caps too brake res, clutch and rad.
Lastly some carbon bonnet lifters.


I also added a Brembo sock as no cover is about for the small clutch bottle asyet (well I couldn't find one), not sure on the quality of it tho, I'll continue my search for a better one I think.


D1 Spec wheel nuts too:-

Chrome parts all from Ebay but from 2 different companies, most came from Badass.

Blue bolts etc are all hand painted in WR Blue paint, only require the odd touch up now and then.

Carbon Bonnet lifters again from good old Ebay.

And the Blue locking nuts are again hand painted, looked ok being silver, but blends in much better now.

Thanks for the nice comments guys
