Title: Opinions please
Post by Tons_of_fun on May 23^rd, 2010, 8:09pm

Hi all. For a while now i have been trying to smooth out & polish the inlet manifolds on the cossie, with varying sucess ! TBH i think im fighting a loosing battle so am toying with the idea of painting the inlets black. The top plastic cover has been colour coded white so i think it will make a nice contrast but as most of you who know me will testify, im a little far out at the best of times & most of my ideas are a little 'far out' ;-) . Im sure it would help if i could provide a descent photo of the engine bay, but strangley i dont seem to have a good / up to date photo ( did anyone get a snap at Sandwell ? ? ? ). so there we go. Any opinions greatky appreciated. thanks in advance... Craig :-)

I have thought about that m8, but really cant be bothered to go the the effort of removing them + the cost of new gaskets etc. You know me m8...Tight as a ducks bottom ;-)
