Engine bay coloured pipework
 
My car is turning in to more of a show-n-shine hobby, so moving in to the engine bay would like a splash of colour in there.
I have some red pipework in there already so sticking with that colour. I have things like the y-pipe and airbox hose pipe done, it's just changing over as many of the other black rubber ones I'd like to do now.

Looking for links or even better pics of your own engine bays with info where to get what's needed.

My car is a 2004 Blobeye.

spent a couple of hours nearly every week end last year getting it to this standard so its just a matter of keeping it that way, though hard as its my daily driver.
Big fan of the megs engine detailer and autosol was my best friend lol

That is a what my engine bay looks like in my dreams :notworthy
Did you autosol the alternator or remove and take it to pieces like E_M_B?
Getting all the fins on the I/C straight must have been hard work, and looks :cool: in both pics :thumb:

alternator, a/c plus bkts were painted with engine laquer, didnt take the alternator apart as it wasnt required.
you can buy a comb for the ic which makes it easier straightening the fins.

Believe it or not the engine bay has changed again lol:) pics will be updated soon:thumb:

brockalightus - that's looks brilliant, nice work that man !
Where I can't quite see me going that far (can't really see how you've taken that further!!) it has given me some ideas. Managed to source and fit some coloured pipework from Samco and autobahn, a couple of pieces will need some modifying, but getting there.

Tried out the Autosol few days ago..
Works Magic :)
