Cheers guys, scrap that idea...was a sh!t one..

Going to get some CL lights and tint them completely red, see how that turns out :cool:
 
Cool, let me know how that goes as I think all red is the route I want to take with mine.  never sure how the light output will end up... I know reverese lights can't be right for a start but interested how the amber shines through?

Indicators shine red unless you put green bulbs in i believe :)

Right basically as you can see i'm going for a white theme in the engine bay..



I'm thinking of getting Polished Strut Top Caps, Strut Brace, white Samco Hoses. All the white you see now on the engine bay and the above caps and brace will be powder coated white. I'm wondering if there will be too much white?

The VR6 - DOHC and Vw badge will be burgundy and the HT lead holders will be gloss black.

Opinions please!  :smiley:

The top caps and maybe the strut brace too would be cool but I think the samco hoses would be too white. White in the bay looks best when contrasted against other colours. Liking the rocker cover in white :afro:

In practise that really doesn't work.

By the time you've got red and green tint, you get orange but it's just dangerously dim.

Where all my moneys went.
