Default ic cover

i painted my ic cover over the weekend so it would match the black and white of my s

that and i cant afford a better ic yet to make my engine bay look better so what do you think


paint and primer on



the had to make the s astro black




and the end result on the car

because of the white it makes the dust look a lot worse so a clean will be in order lol

That coulds like a cool colour combo and looks the part against your strut brace. Is it a gloss white finish?

If you suffer a paint failure, you might want to try Hammerite paint, then do all sorts especially designed for hot surfaces - available from all good B&Q stores.

But am loving the white
