Started My Engine Covers *(Updated Today)*

[northeast_gti-t]

Decided that i would give the engine covers a paint this weekend as the weather looks reasonable up here for a change so removed them this morning removed the fastening studs along with retainers and grommets and slightly modded the r/h corner so as to see the forge d/v and to help prevent chafing the d/v hose popped to my local halfrauds for some plastic grey primer and some reflex silver and then rubbed them down ready for primer so with a bit of luck tommorrow i should get the reflex silver and 2 coats of laquer on ready for them to be fitted monday

2 x 300ml grey plastic primer £10.78
2 x 300ml reflex silver met £10.78
1 x masking tape(for the badge) £2.42
TOTAL £23.98 (with my disc card.

Nice Reasonable Priced Mod
