I'll start with a :paperbag: ... I'll need to hide in here from the rotten tomatoes you lot will throw at me !!

Fed up with looking at flaking brown rocker covers I enlisted the world's greatest lover Matt :hehe: to polish some up for me and here the are. I is truly blingin !

On a more serious note, It was nice to see the cams are still mint :thumbup:

Best bring your shades to Britcar ! :cool:

Nice!! I had this done to mine along with a stainless steel hard hose kit and a nice pair of chrome filters and some other bits and pieces tidied up, totally changes the look of the engine when you lift the clam back!! Nice one!

The m400 engine is no stunner either though Ferrari and Lambo are the only ones who really get that right!

It's the glass cover down look on the 360CS that just does it for me.

Roughly how much did that little lot cost - fitted? Been thinking about a spit and polish for mine. Apparently, a J-reg Ford Granada comes with the same size block, but also a nice flat aluminium cover that I am assured will fit over the Noble just the same. It's tidy up that nasty mass of black pythons.

Well the filters were about £90 each, fitted them myself, the rocker covers I polished up myself and refitted them, and the hard hose kit was made by a friend for around £100 which I also fitted myself, so all in about £280!! Bargain!!

This guy certainly tidied up his mondeo lump.
Carbon cam covers, painted manifold. I like the way the HT leads are clamped.
We're working on polished ally power steering pot and header tank at the mo

Yes - but knowing it's a CS adds to the whole experience

Is your IC fan off centre so you can fit another one next to it; I take it you haven't found the need for a 2nd fan?

Covers look much better btw

The original FP intercoolers had the fan that side as thats where the charge is at it's hottest......and probably Matt was going to put 2 on there !!! Off to tickle the manifold up with a spot of paint now
