I fancied something a little different just to liven it up, I was bored of all in one colours tbh.

Wobbly handling ftl though lol

Can you not incorporate the yellowy stripe of the car into the engine bay scheme?

Yeah, I know what you mean about 'tyre suspension' lol. I'm rolling like that now. :(

I don't think its that messy Burgo,

I like it but your doing wrong,... Wants a RED TOP and a Gsi kit!! LOL

Nahh mate Really suits the car, very different but a Good Different :)

I knew this would get mixed emotions but I like the fact that it stands out, plainish (no such word lol) from the outer but a difference under the bonnet.

Draper the red hose is now a little sentimental as it use to be a dog chew of my mates dog lol, sadly his dog died last year so I feel since my mate put the engine in that it's quite fitting. ;)

Stop at that & I'd say it looks fine. Just dont attempt to liven it up with further silicon.

Liking the CD rims too. Have +Rep............

Im not liking it, dont really go with anything. At the end of the day though its your car, if you like it, keep it!

Tidy the bay tho, even mine looks tidier :p

Actually it was but the one I did for you I didn't like so I thought I'd try something a little away from the norm, a guy I know who does spraying has a similar cover on his xe rally Astra and I liked it so I got him to spray mine.

Cheers Craig, or not as the case is lol I'm wanting a matching green samco hose as the rest of my water pipes but it's a odd size which has been cut down do I'll have to try and get another made.

Thanks for all the replies :)

Not bad, not something I'd have thought of but I see what you tried to do. If I'm not mistaken it's the sport colour right?

Just something about snowploughs, gotta love 'em. Yours looks a lot less warped than mine, lucky!

Matches and a bit of colour on a usually dull rocker.

Flip the haters nobody that can photoplop as well as you could not have a artistic side. You know it looks gooooood lol

Cheers matey glad you like it, my imagination has always been a bit colourful with doing design work day in day out so I thought (with an idea off Nick J) I would splash a bit into the engine bay. ;)
