Well left my painted coilpacks to be fitted today just so as the clearcoat had a longer time to go off :rolleyes: good things come to those that wait :grin: gave the camcover a little polish first may as well as i was under the bonnet so finally fitted :afro:

Looking at it today the paint match i'd say is 99% spot on :rolleyes: not bad for a little guess work i never intended to do all off what i have done in the engine bay but tbh i'm really glad i have now gives it more of a focal point and just makes all the things stand out i think and hope you agree that its all come together nicely :cool:
comments welcome as usual

Thanks tom :smiley:

told you it'd look good :grin:
i was worried they might look "too blue" so was going to suggest painting the intermediate fins on each coil black but i dont think it looks OTT at all :afro:

To save adding another post had abit of a think earlier :rolleyes: and decided that the oem (black) charge pipe/dv hose doesn't look good against the blue :tongue: so don't want a full set of blue hoses and don't want to be paying the price for them either :grin: so spoke to nick and basically the hose doesn't have to be the oem shape so had a quick measure of the hose and been and searched around for some blue silicone oil/coolant hose well found some and got that ordered :afro: whilst at it decided that i may aswell change the top two catch can hoses to finish it off too so ordered some 19mm hose to (chargepipe one is 25mm) so that should finish off now under the bonnet :lipsrsealed:

hose arrived yesterday lunchtime so thought i would make a start wasn't happy with how the catch can hose ended up looking so some of the original has gone on to and i have ordered another metre also the 25mm one isn't going to connect cleanly so to sort that i have ordered a 25mm elbow so that plan is a small length of 25mm silicone from the c/pipe 90 deg elbow and then a length of silicone from the elbow to the d/v :wink: just got to wait for these to be delivered hopefully for the weekend as i want it sorting :rolleyes:
