Default My saphire cosworth at fordfair

a few pics i got sent from some mates, i never took any as my camera is knackered. thinkin about ditchin the chrome for the same colour at my wheels, standard cover with red writing done in the same grey and skimmed or black crackle, love the chrome but it does my head in everytime i wash it theres water marks on it. scared that i will paint them and not like it and miss the chrome. what you lads think?






anyone get anymore of it, if so can you post them in here thanks

I really like it as it is. Somehow you have got a minimalistic look going on ie not cluttered. Nice looking saph that. I'll have a look through my pics later and I'm sure I have one of yrs so I'll post it for you.

Like the stones said: PAINT IT BLACK!!!

Did it too for the same reason of always having to clean the water marks off for ages. Never looked back since.

it's an almost stealth engine bay and makes a difference from all the shiney stuff

but it's nice to compare the 2 side by side and see all the effort that you can plainly see with the shiney stuff and all the stealthy stuff that's crinkled
