new magnex fitted and rocker cover painted!! pics!!!

[JoshyBoyGTI]

decided to buy a new centre pipe due to mine blowing and corroding when removed the thing just fell to bits!!! found a good deal on ebay for a magnex centre pipe and back box straight twin! recieved today i was a bit unsure as i feel the twin is too big so im still undecided about it had to get a new bracket made as it sat too low bloody things never fit right. i still might revert to standard backbox and just keep the centre pipe nice sound tho nice tone and not too loud at all.i also painted my rocker cover i know not to everyones tasted but a bitt diff i also painted ecu cover and cam belt cover.

let me know what you think.

p.s was only 100 squids delivered these things new are 320. here are some pics and diff angles.








ialso wrapped all the lose wires in red insulation tape tidying it up a bit.

I've got the exhaust but mine are twin ovals which I think look nice. Not sure about the blue paint splatters tho  but its your car go for it

its ok it was a last min thing i might just go red, bit unsure also tbh.

I think it would look better all red I've body coloured mine (Helious Blue) bit different as you say; but at the end of the day its a can of paint  does your exhaust not sound a bit tinnier now? mine does but my stock box was blowing so it might just be me

The phase tape on your cables looks naff, sorry.

i agree , id get it off before it becomes a nightmare (glue and heat) you can buy sleeving http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-Cable-Sleeving-braiding-5-metres-x-3mm-/190611299210?pt=UK_Computing_NetworkingTools_Accessories_SM&hash=item2c61519b8a#ht_651wt_1163 something like that maybe ?

its fire proof for a start and it looks far better than lose cables all over the place. thanks for link though this is just a quick fix im doing alot of work in next few weeks and replacing all pipes with red silicone hoses etc.its just i had stray wires everywhere thats all.

The cables would look better wrapped black.

Why blue splater I would have used silver mist light coat looks like my 5 year old had ago or you got a bit of blue paint on it by accident, and then did it more to look like it was on purpose if going down that route do the same to the cam belt cover so it does look like it flows 
Sleeving is okay if you do all of them, but then again it might be a wash of red which could go the wrong way aswell!
I use decent cable ties and re route them around the block to hide them, its a better method.

Red tape is proper Pikey.

Heat shrink wrap the lot in black.

Painting the rocker cover is pointless unless you are going to at least clean the engine and components.
