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

**stephenevans99** · Friday 10th November 2006, 20:07

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.

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 !!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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** · Saturday 2nd October 2010, 19:47

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

**Flatout Phil** · Saturday 2nd October 2010, 20:01

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** · Saturday 2nd October 2010, 20:32

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?

FUEL RAIL COVER £35 + postage

THROTTLE COVER £25 + postage

HEADER TANK COVER £20 + postage

BATTERY COVER £20 + postage

BRAKE RESERVOIR COVER £20 + postage

INTERCOOLER PIPE COUPLER £12 + postage

OR THE WHOLE LOT £120 + postage at cost.

For once I am not taking offers - if it doesn't sell it goes on the Bay or back in the cupboard. Wooty knew his stuff.

Cheers,
Phil.
