Default My Bling'd SECS S8 ecu

Was a bit bored one evening, and I thought my S8 ecu needed blinging up....


It's got a cool box.....but I wasn't loving the colour, the long grey serial lead, or the big heavy SS 9pin plug on the end of it!


5mins later, the ECU was taken apart, and I was left with a big pile of ally, and the PCB itself.

Would have anodised it, but I was pushed for time so sent it off to Radder's to be sprayed ( ).


Parts soon arrived back and assembled it all back together, a lovely deep almost Pacifica blue case


Replaced the John Major grey data lead for a bling braided one, and with a nice lightweight plug on the end

Something to do I suppose

Cheers to Radders and BigWig for their help with the painting side of things

I wonder if the warrenty is still valid??

Phil, I think you misunderstand the term bling - you swapped the shiny connector for a plastic one.....
