Engine Bay colour

[plasticpig72]

Have TVR Engine Bays always been the body colour or is it only certain models.
This is one reason why i can't make a decision if i change the colour of my 3000M.
To paint the Engine Bay a different colour would be a difficult and very fiddly job.
One thing for sure i am not going down the rebuild road and stripping everything out of the Bay.
The body colour in the Engine Bay is in quite good condition and i the correct colour to paint where there are a few scrapes.
I imagine some of you guys have been in this position also

Yes,
i have had several Lotus Elans and the original colour is matt black.
That seems to be the way to go

Hi Rik,
you're right, the more i think about how tedious it is to paint the engine bay the more i am starting to like Onyx Brun.
When i had my last Lotus Elan +2S130 i changed the colour from Lagoon Blue to Carnival Red and often thought i had blasphemed .
