hey all, looking for inspiration on what colour scheme to do the cam cover and cam belt cover on my LET. would like it to be the body coloured to keep it looking smart, but i dont think im a fan of them being blue. was thinking more of a dark grey, like keith robinsons.

chrome/polished is a no no, engine theme is black and silver.

anyway, pic whore me some engine bays for colour schemes.

I dont have any pics for you dude but I'll be going for:

- Black Cam Cover
- Silver block/inlet
- Black cambelt Cover
- Colour coded spark plug cover (considering gold plating when I got more moolah)
- Body coloured strut brace.

Simple and all the colours match the rest of the car so won't look funny at all.

i used to have it all mattblack with a body coloured spark plug cover, but that looked crap. so it's back to matt black again :P
i just cleaned the ignition and inlet manifold so that it's back to the oem alu colour.
It would look cool with everything matt black and gold plated bolts.
