show me your coloured engines!!

[theflyingbrick]

as mines in bits n pieces I thought it the perfect time to paint it before I re assemble various bits,i was thinking of the cam cover and inlet in satin/matt black but what have you all done to yours........show me your pics and inspire me :)

[graemewelch]

got no pics but i like the the inlets painted satin black. somtimes simple is better

[theflyingbrick]

that's my theory mate go simple with the main bits and complement it with coloured accessories

[oblark]

Here`s a picture of mine, as it`s one of a few running the ME7 inlet manifold :)

[theflyingbrick]

hows the me7 compared to the standard one?

[oblark]

With the ME7 inlet manifold and the alloy intercooler the difference is very noticeable :)
