[Mk2] [Turbo] Engine bay pics.... In need of inspiration for powder coating!!

Post by J-1 »

As above.

I am in great need of inspiration for when i send my parts to the powder coaters. I own a Sonic Shadow so keep that in mind if you're giving me ideas.

Also, can you post a photo of your engine bay?

:thumleft: Cheers people.

Cheers.

I would replace every gasket for every part you are taking off to get powder coated!

I'm trying to decide what to do with mine at the moment. I've got a caribbean blue turbo and am thinking about white/blue/orange. I've already got orange spreader plates & vac hoses in the bay and it goes well with the blue. Think I'm gonna go with blue cam cover, white inlet manifold and blue/white chargecooler core. Any suggestions?

There were some group buys on mr2oc I think. I bought mine from another member on here along with some front bonnet struts which didn't fit ](*,)
