manifold n turbo housing has been sprayed in very high temp aluminium paint, frm halfords, the lovely place i am blessed with working!!!!! lol

i just got bored of standard dirty looking parts in the engine bay, so bought a bag full of paints n got busy, i think it looks quite nice, a bit of a change to the usual chrome engine bling.

cheers 4 the compliments people, it is nice to get some feedback on the car, some purists dont like the idea of building a base spec into an RS because its not original, blah blah blah!!!!

tomorrow is the day the engine goes back together, got a full service kit ready, new felpro grp a gasket, new head bolts, so fingers crossed it runs again
