For me personally I think it looked nicer in silver! But it's your car and if your happy that's all that matters! I'm just one for the clean factory finish on a standard car.

i know what you mean. but the the powder coaters near me will not do silver.... i just like the white and red theme on the xr3i so thought i would carry it on in the engine bay. thanks for the feedback tho m8.
also its got a stage 3 head, ported and polished with fast road cam. sweet!

It would of been better to clean up the engine bay before fitting it.
