Samcos, Powdercoated Strut brace and Engine Hook Fitted

[makavelli]

Finally got my strut brace back this evening so popped it back on

since the last pics of the bay i have fitted the samco coolant hoses that i bought off tim (cheers fella )

they were a lot easier to fit than i thought and only took half an hour or so

ive had my strut brace and engine hook thingy (lol) powder coated blue
the strut brace was originally black but because it was sprayed, the finish on the paint was starting to go dodgy from the heat and it looked cack

the finish on the powdercoat is top notch and can withstand upwards of 200degrees so it should stay mint

the colour match isnt perfect but i still think it looks good my brother in law didnt have an exact match at his work so went for the closest blue he had!

piccies:

cheers

[Christopher]

i give you a week before you buy a chrome header...

we need to arrange a meet with Mark, yourself and me...get some pics before FCS when all the prep is complete.

 

[Middo]

you two know it makes sense. unfortunately i'm rapidly running out of money as ive got to save for the insurance, and theres loads of stuff i want.

looks mint andy, but im always saying that, so its getting a bit boring lol

 

[mini-valver]

Looks fantastic mate! Carbon or RB oil cap would finish it off I think........and a header tank

 

[len_beach]

The oil cap needs a colour change. Satin black maybe?

 

[jamesp24]

Looks awesome where did you get the battery cover.

i know im going to end up with a header tank but could do with one that isnt 100 bones

its the yellowy coloured bottle attatched to the bulk head at the back of the bay, bailey do a polished stainless steel one but its 100 quid

 

[C.slicker]

Oh right, the one that stores the coolant?

Do they also sell PAS fluid tanks too?

It would look cool I guess.

There was some guy on here saying his friend can make alloys parts like this. Can't think for the life of me what his name was though. Do you know who I mean?

[Ed_182]

Does look very nice, have you had any issuses with the paint being rubbed off the sound deadning underneath the bonnet?

i removed the sound deadening for that exact reason fella

the fluff of it was sticking to the paint on the brace, so i replaced it with dynamat hoodliner and jobs a good un

Im getting some parts made at the moment andy - Top notch stainless battery covers, throttle body covers & fuse box covers made of billet aluminium

will let you know when they are sorted.
went to get the part number for the badge last night but then realised that I have given all the reciepts for the car when I sold the car so cant give you the part number mate - sorry - my fault should have done it quicker.
All I did was went to renault and asked for the renault sport badge off a clio 197 - took 2 days to arrive

looks good by the way - you need a samco bend now as well - lol
