Addiction to Wootty's Shiny Bits !!??!!

[stephenevans99]

Oh my Lordy Lord....I'm having to put an extra 5 psi in my front tyres to compsensate for Woottys extra kg's of quality stainless shiny bits under my bonnet.

It's a good job I'm booked in at VT to be RICA'd....as I'm sure its a damn sight slower with all that extra weight. :snail:

The engine compartment has never looked so good though, what's next Phil? I need another fix....how about the spark plug cover!!! oooooohhh imagine!!

I'm off to polish me shiny bits !! :wink:

[Dacvolvo]

It's addictive isn't it?

I need to go down to my engine bay and clean polish the manifold and engine head before getting a few piccys up on here ;)

Wooty has a lot to answer for lol

Wooty has a lot to answer for lol

He can answer by saying he will make a blinging throttle cover:)

[V70Man]

Does anyone have any pics with all the bits on their engine? :B_steerin

[Wobbly Dave]

I have a spare cam cover for my car - I am looking for an engineering firm to polish it out/chrome it.

Very nice mate. :bud:

I thought they might look a bit too "bling" when all put together, but it works quite the opposite in fact. It almost looks like it's standard stuff. Nice.

You should do. They look great mate.

I am feeling the cash burning a hole in my wallet and trying to make a break for wooty's wallet!!! Looks like a sound investment!

Talking of Old Wooty's Handmade Specials - I noticed that these are up on Ebay for not a bad BIN price - and even better if they go for less:

Wooty took a rocker cover from me - never saw it again. Still I have some shiny bits from him

And whatever happened to Wootty himself? Ah, so many lost VPCUKers!
Nice metalworking though.

[Storm-Troll]

likey likey... done open the bonet on a sunny day or u might blind someone with all those shiney bits lol...:rolling_e

[Flatout Phil]

Yes, if I get surrounded by pikey chavs and gangstas I just flip the lid and they scatter back to their stinking pits - either that, or jump under there with their screwdrivers to prise off the shiny trinkets...I blast them off with a blip on the Forge BOV.

[Storm-Troll]

look out for Magpies too. they like shiney bits.. they might fly off wiv ya motor lol.

I have a spare cam cover for my car - I am looking for an engineering firm to polish it out/chrome it.

Did you ever do this Dave? I have to say it would look blingness if I had one. I know the cover is integral to the cam carriers - so presume it is more than slightly tricky to swap over? At least on the basis that bearings may need to be popped out and so on?

[Wobbly Dave]

would like the brake reservoir cover please.

Wooty took the only spare cam cover I had - but I never saw it again. I am unwilling to strip it off the car & wait for it to be returned. So in short No - I never.

Looks like Mr. Wootty now owns a Subaru http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/member.php?u=76868

He's also on alot of ford sites, I first came across him on a mondeo forum.
