After having a chat with scutch0, its been deemed the FTE TB isnt going to work :(......so i may try to go twin TB's on the standard plenum....:)

@ JAG yup, the glanza S is the non-turbo. But with a different ecu, injectors, and ignition system to the UK starlets...

@Jules-B, its Renault Electric Blue....rattle can from halfords, with their white primer and clear lacquer...

Update on the painting...refitted the washer bottle cap, rad overflow bracket...and painted and fitted one of the rad mounts....

Took the cam cover off...and sprayed that...aswell as the other rad bracket...both of which will be fitted tomorrow...

Some pics - masked up...then rubbed it all down and cleaned it etc..

i would use lacquer but it may take a bit of time....the first time i did it the lacquer had some really small cracks in, nothing really noticeable...then just wet and dryed it down..and re-did it...now its fine...
