Spent all afternoon wrestling the plenum and rocker covers off to get them powder coated.
trying to decide on the colour.

My car is starmist blue, the paint place said couldn't do that blue but could do one very similar to the hoses and magnacore leads etc. I quite like the idea.

or rockers blue and plenum silver, or everything black.

appreciate opinions.

getting the drivers side rocker off was a right pig!, couldn't get it past the fuel pipes even after disconnecting the rubber pipes. Also may need some new plenum bolts as I may have been a bit vigorous with the HEX spanner.

will post pics when all back together

just ordered some off Ebay thanks!.

Had thought of leaving the plenum as is , possibly use a dremel to shine it up. I think having it Sparco blue may be a bit much! and the bass will still be metal.
