I had mine coloured as per the car but there is a 400 in the club with polished covers. Looks superb.

Jeepers, thought mine was clean. That looks the mutz. Superb.

You could eat your dinner off that...

Very nice chaps
thinking the fully polished covers would go great with the carbon fibre

Boy been trying to tidy my engine bay up for the new motor, but I think I'm just going to spray thick oil over everything as it ain't ever goint to be like that !!

Is that a chromed or polished plenum chamber, as I have a spare one I was going to acid dip to clean, but love that chrome look, will set out the sludge look superb

[cuneus]

Yes. makes you

I found the pictures somewhere (there were 2 SEAC's at Bruntingthorpe)

Here's the other

Seen that one at a few car club jobbies. Stunning.
Anoyingly I left my camera at the hotel for Bruntingthorpe. There was a good Wedge line up as well.

So you think i should paint it then Andy
If i do polish it is there something i can coat it with to stop it oxidizing?

I guess there is but i don't know of anything,I just keep using the Autoglym

It will look nice with the carbon stuff though, have you got that fitted now then ?

Cheers

I was going to order it all at Xmass, but then i had an about turbos.Come to my senses now and going for the twin plenum , and a very special exhaust the manifolds have to be sent off for the ceramic coating so it all takes time .I hope i will get it all in two to three weeks.

Afew people have asked me for these,cheaper to buy the batch made ally ones father than a custom made one off.
I can make brackets and the like no prob, cheap too.

Steve

Yes stainless manifolds, the ceramic coating reduces engine bay temps, looks nicer than the bandage wrap.I went for the double outer and single inner coating they claim it improves peformance too, but who knows .
