I decided I was fed up with having an engine bay that looked crap!!
But looks much better now!! After
Gave it a wee coat of AG SRP to seal it after I'd gave it a wipe with Megs APC. Pretty chuffed with the outcome, just got the tuther side to do now!! |

Part 2- the other side Well I spent ages on this side, so many bits, all fiddly and intricate, but I got them done. Not as well as i'd have liked but it'll do for now as I was getting annoyed with the rain and seagulls!! Anyway...long prosses had the front grills off, lights.... all in a mess but here we go..... Before...
After...
Not too bad for about 4 hours work!!lol. Just got a wee bit on the hinge of the bonnet to do then it's done!!
