Im about to fit a new standard turbo heatshield, but wondered if anyone has got any tips on how you can prevent it from fading??
Maybe you can put some sort of heat proofing or something under the heatshield

 

back to black by the shit load mate

 

Nick-this is a constant problem and nothing I found would stop it , I have loads of heat proof tape on the back of mine to stop the paint melting and it does work but still gets f**king hot , so I reckon even if you did this it would still fade which is a shame as they look so cool when they are shined up

 

gave up with mine yrs ago and went carbon,nice and shiney all the time

 

Mat where did you get the heat proof tape from?

 

mines the same- I was going to get a carbon one eventually, as a new one will just go the same way

 

I got it years ago from Demon Tweeks but they dont seem to do it anymore it was called Cool Tape, I got something similar from Mike R but it fell off on it's first outing , the other stuff has stayed stuck for over 4 years

 

Mat, Demon Tweeks still do it And also Burton Power.
Have a look on both sites and let me know what you think

 

Having a look now Nick

 

get a carbon one

 

rene you engine bay is AMAZING, want mine like that!!!! awesome!!

 

thanks mate

credit goes to me mate who owned if for 7 years and made it like this for me LOL

 

If you want some money towards your new one, let me know....I need another one, mines knackered.

 

i had a carbon one and it was going discouloured with teh heat

gotta get me some of that

 

Mike R sold me some sticky stuff last week for this very job. Not fitted new heat shield yet though so I can't tell you if it works, but then considering Mike's godly status how could it possibly fail

 

I hate to say it but........................


Pics or STFU!!!!! lol


As mine is virtually new and fading too!!
