Now its done I'm not so sure

[estutjaweh]

After changing the colour of my Chimp last year the blue engine bits all looked out of place - too much blue with green paint or something I guess. Anyway, whilst I got the chassis sorted I subsequently went about changing the look of the engine bay a well. It went from this...

...to this...

...but now its finished I'm not so sure about the end result. What do you guys think? Should I leave it? Should I use blue silicone hoses again or leave it? Should I maybe add red ignition leads with the blue hoses to break it up a bit? What colour combination would be good with a green car?[url][url]

You know the saying ! Blue and green should never been seen ,,

[Goaty Bill]

I just can't believe you painted those purple rockers a different colour

"Unless there is a colour inbetween"

If you want to donate all that to me then please go back to the blue. I know its not going to happen.



It looks great now. You will get used to the look and love it.

Edit to add I wish my engine bay looked as good.

I have painted my rockers and plenum blue and they look good but that is on a starmist blue. Not sure they would suit a green car.

u def done the right thing, looks good under the bonnet and love the exterior colour.

I feel the gold rocker covers and flame trap are a bit bling on a military green car, I'd have left them silver, or made them the same colour as the body...

Black or gunmetal grey would also go nicely. Think Morgan 3-wheeler in a similar colour - you wouldn't see gold detailing on one of those...

Who cares... My bonnet is closed when I blast around in the tiv!

Where did you get those water hoses from? I am gutted I've seen them having just spent quite a few quid on blue ones!!

Do you want to sell the blue hose from the swirl pot to the radiator? I'll be interested if you are.

it looks fine, an improvement
