I can get powder coating done very cheep. And im going to have the engine mount and gearbox mounts done. I was thinking of having them white so i could see if anythign was leaking it would be easyer to spot. But the car is blue and wheels are black. If i had them done in white would it just look tacky and miss match of colours everywhere?

That's the right way as the works BTCC Cav's among other reverse head Super Tourers had a manifold that was routed over the gearbox.

Anthracite, Medium Grey or summin. Not quite black so you cant see any engine detail and not white so that it looks messy and dirty after 1 quick drive.

Have no idea if it wil look good though lol

P.S. That engine looks scary man :eek:
