small update, re did my engine cover...again... will be staying like this now think it looks alot better, more subtle.

before:


after:



and had some perspex in my shed so thought i'd try something out. cut it to size to fit the inside of my boot due to having no wiper motor and spryed black behind it so it gave it a really good shine, really inpressed with it, looks quite smart (pics arent amazin though, as the reflection is of the road...you can see my rear light in one of them)




will be redoing it though as i had to cut two pieces as it wasnt wide enough, but for now, it tidys it up

and i am also redoing my roof rails as i didnt do them very well last time

wat u think?

looks very nice
for the engine bay maybe a plastic gsi inlet?
black inlet tie in with the engine cover nicely and the strut brace same colour as the oil cap and engine cover maybe?

loving the perspex boot cover
once me boot is semi-smooth will love something like that
be awesome to see it on sunday
hopefully get to park next to it
