Nice stuff man. Not a fan of the pinkish engine bay color, but I do like how it makes everything stand out..... just kind pops out.

Props on the RHD also.

Since you do not have an intercooler up front, I think some kind of grill would like nice to cover up that opening.

Nice work though.

eh, thumbs up on the K. But if I may, wish the lower portion of the radiator support was black and I do not know how I feel about pink & oliveish green. Clean car though.

Well done work but I am also not a fan of the mismatched bay.

If I'm honest, there are just too many colors going on that car for me. C/F, Jade Green, Bright Pink, Gunmetal, Black, Purple.... Also, with all the money spent on making the car look and perform, you think some original wheels would have been in order.

Thats intake location seems kinda poor, why place it near the exhaust.

I think the fact that it's a UK car might have something to do with it being RHD. I hardly think that deserves "props". But, some of the rest of it is ok.

I'm not a fan overall though, there's a lot going on there and yet it seems unresolved.


What else are you going to be doing with it?

lol yeah RHD is stock in this country.

The car has only just recently had the bay and bodywork painted, I wasn't sure how much pink would be visible through the front bumper, considering an intercooler filled it not long ago. I'll be painting it black... the idea was that when the bonnet is shut, no pink would be visible at all.

The K has only just gone in too, the air filter location is temporary!

Not really feeling it. Nice work on the engine bay though, the rest of the car, not so much.
