good job on the engine cover did you paint that yourself?

 

[cupraolli]

no a sprayer near me did it looks ok from these pictures but not a brilliant job needs wet sanding down again.

 

[Big_Lad]

Certainly is different going for a white engine cover, good work

 

[cupraolli]

yes might not have it on all of the time just to keep it clean. i love it.

 

[CupraElliott]

nice one looks really good

 

[cupraolli]

yer its a good thing to do thats not polished up so comes up alot better than that aswell

 

[mr_D]

i have just been searching now for all the stuff needed. do you have to use a drill for the polishing stage using the compound. or is it better to?

 

[cupraolli]

no you can just polish it by hand buy i used drill to speed up process.
just cover inlet in metal polish (autosol) and rub it like your rubbing yourself

Did you remove it from the car? Or whilst still attaching in the engine bay?
