Show us your engine bay! :)
 

Ive got a standard blob sti, wanted to make the engine bay look nice and clean and improve the look.
Whats everyone done, I know coloured silicone hoses but what else is available?

Various bits of chrome like these:

can get carbon versions of most of those as well and various other carbon trinkets.

Everything is available as long as you have ££££

looking good, I was thinking about some chrome pipes and carbon fibre covers

Just wondering if you are you running without a battery clamp or do have another means of securing it?

Have a look in my albums,i don't know how to move them over.

this is a nice 1

There is one on now, it wasn't fitted when I collected it.

Have a look here mate: https://www.facebook.com/hydrotek.cu...s.7/photos_all

Locky can pretty much dip anything in your engine bay and has a multitude of patterns. He is a member on here as well and if you search for his username - It is: X70cky he has loads of offers for members:

The 1st carbon black inlet manifold is the one he did for me that is now on my car, but just scroll down his post and you will see some fine examples of his work. This is my own engine bay:

That looks spot on mate :thumb:

Cheers all, some impressive stuff there!

For under bonnet transformations

A really good clean for a few hours is the starting point

Trouble is once you start you never stop
Autosol and autoglymn engine cleaner and vinyl restorer is good and a dremmel can come in useful

Rallytech do the nice bolts ,washers and battery bolts and battery brackets along with slam panels and Intercooler covers

Locky is the master of all colours under the bonnet With his candy colours as the trend is moving away from chrome and shiney to nice colours

Cdf pullies look great

A nice strut brace to add a bit of colour

Samco or alternative hoses


Transform it

At the moment I've got cdf gold pullies ,hella horns and OMP stutbrace in red sitting waiting to be fitted



The master of colour Locky is going to do my cam belt cover and manifold and I've just ordered lime green samco hoses from revolution

Hi mario, car still looking good I see :)

That's a good mix of colour too Jazzy
Pullies really set it off too

Thanks your lordship :)

You do realise the OP has a standard blobeye ?

Yes Mic - Yours is looking good - looks different from the last time I saw it at NBO! Haven't taken any pics with the new carbon inlet manifold yet. :)

Standard blob Sti it said ?

No matter any engine bay can be done upnto look good :D

Even old classics after years of neglect

Bout'ye Charly! (I'm from Belfast - but been here 24 years) Indeed we do Charly - but it's about giving him some ideas what can be achieved - mine was a standard engine 18 months ago - This was it:

Then it went to this:

Before ending up like it does now - Inspiration and ideas mate that's all we are trying to do.

No , just meant some of those pics (as good as they look) wont be easily achieved by a few silicone pipes and covers !

Edit - I stand corrected Marietto

Took that pic a lil wilst back
Got a few boxes of goodies to add over new year / working on underneath at mo but waiting till spring to apply the coilovers / just pottering around at mo with 17" & rain tyres - car gets out about twice a week :)

You need to wear sunglasses for some of them pics..

That looks tidy...bet it shifts as well...

Been the master of colour and design been my middle name I will chip in with my engine bay just to give you a rough idea of wot is achievable .......cheers Mario and John for the mention if it wasn't for you guys my work could lay unseen for years lol these guys are 1 of many at shows like the NBO and car meets that have there bonnets up for all to see.......never heard a bad reaction yet! Thanks again ;)

Carbon dipped parts...
http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/...y/null-153.jpg

How about a candy look...
http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/...C6585B74FD.jpg

Patterns and designs come in there 100s and base colour can be anything aslong as it works with the pattern/effect....

Another good use off colour the blue and yellow caps on the clutch fluid works particularly well

Nice contrast
