I felt my already detailed engine bay which I am very proud of not only cus it has TURRRBBBBBOOOOOOO needed some more oooooomph.
I have been thinking of doing mirrors/chrome plates for a while but never got around to doing the investigation into wats involved.
I think you'll agree the effect is quite dramatic. :lol:
Firstly, I added some more detailing to the engine bay to break up the blue and chrome by adding Red anodised bits such strut covers, red anodised bolts and red anodised hose finishers. have also relocated the oil breather filter to the front of the engine as it was directly above the turbo before!
Its all about the detail:
