Looks great so far! I think a nice royal blue in the bay or maybe a smooth black looking forwards to more updates :)

Blue is a good idea like the golf R line blue maybe ,since all the piping is blue might even blend in.

Sounds like a plan or do a test card of a two stage pearl blue with the 040 white flakes haha might be too much that!

i would keep it white, i think it looks cleaner :thumbsup:

Could not agree with you more, but keeping it clean in the bay is a problem, that's why to hide the load of blue pipes I thought to blend it in witha blue bay maybe.

Same here with you I know how dirty the white V bay gets! I vote black or blue :)

Updates very soon, went abit crazy and hit a deal with keith on a gtx28 turbo kit. Thought that I have already done so much to the engine , why not push it a little further.

So some minor changes going from ht leads to msd,oil cooler kit and pulling out the a/c.

Colour has been chosen for engine bay.soon will be sprayed and will upload pics of the engine assembly and new turbo kit soon enough.

Do you need a manifold for that turbo?

No buddy, unfortunately not many glanza around here. so was left with choice but to send the kit back to keith and in exchange with a big top up managed to make a deal on a gtx28 kit. thanks for the offer :thumbsup:

Downpipe, screamer and msd system being prepped.

Let me know what ya think!

Things are rolling much faster now.once engine is in then car should be going in for a full re-spray.

Also got my nardi wheel , waiting on a hkb hub from rhd so can get fitted with that.
