Thought the wee honey could do with a treat

Very nice

Cool. I would do the lettering black too though.

Yes, me too.

Looks nice though

Yes I kept saying that to myself but on reflection I think it might draw too much attention to itself

Nice job , of not black lettering then sand the back to silver , needs the lettering to stand out .

You gotta do those letters and numbers Ed.....

I like this one



and I think you can get away with any self-colour along with bare metal. If I'd kept my coil pack cover as polished metal this would have worked well.

Picking out the lettering in black - something about this look, whilst it shows tlc, is warning me that it's OTT.

Also like the idea of polishing off the letter surfaces leaving yellow in between, but that leaves three colours - too fussy?

The original idea was to carry on the broad contrast of yellow and black but I could be misguided!

Three colours works just fine on the real deal:

Learn from the Bumblebee's bum.

But the wee mite doesn't have A-R-S-E written all over his bum.

I think you will end up taking the letters back to metal eventually???

LOL



That's looking like the most possible option.

It's like food Simon, all down to taste. For me I went down the polished look.

Have to admit though, nobody sees my efforts until obviously the bonnet is open. I like to see a presentable engine bay. Apart from anything else it shows that you take pride in your vehicle, in turn, bit of an edge when selling time comes, well every little helps.....

It's a paradox, in a way one would like to break down a lot....

I am going against the trend, but I like the cover as it is, looks clean and uncluttered in the Yellow.
Curious to see how it looks in situ

My point exactly. It's replacing one that's already been done that colour but has faded and begun to crack (just the paint).

Neat & tidy engine bay Simon, like it.

Shame it wasn't a traffic warden! The uniform would blend nicely
Is that the engne number he's taking down???

Looks good

Lol - the guy with the bunnet is the former owner and restorer of a mint moonie plus that was flagged up on here recently - sportingly posing menacingly for the pic

Raised a few eyebrows when first posted though

I have to say that is one of the nicest engine bays I have seen, the new coolant bottle and the symmetry of the battery colour, I like how the pipe work is all black with out looking tarted up in yellows etc. very nice indeed.

Always good to know the law is on your side!

I recall painting this up first time, I did attempt to paint the letters black but it was just to much:

See, we'll win in the end!

Now all that's left is to fit it....
