Got an omp strut brace cheap lots of people say it looks nice in yellow ....so im in 2 minds what to do with it as theres 2 ways im going to do he engine bay
1. blue samcos, alloy header/swirl pot/power steering/ half auto specialist catalogue... and a candy apple red rocker cover....OR..
2. black samcos, alloy OR black crackle finish above tanks and keep mint green rocker cover or go crackle black or candy red??
so the strut brace will be either chromed or black crackle not sure??
what do u guys think of the above opinions what will look best??
pics of yellow brace as it stands....

well its been nearly a month since my last post...as the weathers been crap and my work hours the cars has been snug in the garage residing under my new car cover i got 2 weeks ago ......but today the sun came out so did the cossie for a bit of fresh air
i love this pic its shows the depth of the smokestone paint
the rear whilst warming up
and a side shot with the sun behind me......smokestone HAS to be the best colour for a saff
not long now and the car will be lowered , then MOT'd ,taxed then driven for the first time

The last few days ive totally gutted the garage giving me at least 1 metre down both sides at the front opening to 2 metres+ at the back so i can do all work on the car and loads of room infront and behind(can probably fit a fiesta behind )....the floor is carpeted..and thecar lives under a nice cover....cor its more spoilt than me

When Gary had it i told him to do black hoses and black crackle tanks and rocker cover
