Default engine bay before and after on the frs

Well i put a post up last week asking for opinions on colour for some bits under the bonnet on the focus, some said black (but done to death and boring) i was thinking orange and a few also said orange.

Before (only under bonnet pic i have lol)





After (i know alot wont be to keen but i think it looks pretty damm good and so much better in the flesh) also painted the rocker cover same colour as car.

I quite like it. The colour clash makes it really striking.

I actually think it looked spot on before. Quite functional somehow. Orange isn't for me really. I think it would be improved if that cover at the back was black, orange on that looks a bit odd.

i like it, and love it when people dont follow the crowd, at a show/meet it would help make your car stand out more than others

love it mate

have you thought about doing the wheels the same colour

photo shop time

think orange wheels will look tough

can you get any more under there done

some kind of strut brace

can you get heat proof orange for the manifold or paint some heat rap
