Default Do I go Creative Carbon???

I need a new heat sheild under the bonnet for the turbo

now.. its a red esc cos, do i go for a carbon one form marcus biney.. will it suit? i will go for a cam belt cover too to match it




if i go for this, i may aswell go for the carbon hockey sticks and stoneshield... but will this suit?

ive never been a fan of carbon on a red car... but its slowly growing on me




and is his work, that good??


cheers

Personally I think the carbon AND crackle looks awful (sorry Mike!).

Standard all the way mate.

Oh, and a respray on your orange n/s front wing

hmmm... i did think that when i saw mikes

i have an idea about a custom heat shield attatched to my strut brace bar... similar to the style that the philloy one looks like.. has anyone his contact details?

what about a carbon set up on the front bumper rich?

Funny, cos I've never been a fan of Red EsCos' but yours is an exception

Arrows F1 Team & Mitsubishi thought/think so.....

I reckon it'd look gotta be careful of the splitter/deflector though, they tend to crack/snap instead of give a little, so worth bearing in mind....

Dave trust me, from one fussy fooker to another Marcus's work is truly AWESOME!

i think it would look great with a carbon heat shield,,, but you couldnt end there,,, maybe the cam cover aswell (or even in the inlet manifold )

Obviously taste is subjective, but the quality of his work is the best Carbon Fibre I have ever seen, so you won't be disappointed in this regard. If you click on my signature and look in the gallery section of my website you can view pictures of my engine bay. I don't use the carbon turbo heat-shield for the simple reason my ALS would make it look old and worn out in a very short period of time. Plus, I think that doing this in carbon as well as all the other bits would be over-kill and start to look too much. I obviously think I have just the right amount - especially as all the inlet plenum etc has been done black now as well, so engine bay looks "moody" .

Mike, here is my "too much Carbon" engine bay.

Im actually with you on that the heat shield makes it too much,
I dont know if a metal one would be better suited?

And yes, its the best quality ive seen too.
