Tuning Engine dress up

dan_m1les · 19th August 2012, 11:21

I'm looking at tarting up the engine a little with some goodies, thinking of the carbon spark plug cover etc and maybe a new oil cap/water cap?
Can someone point me in the right directions for a few options or pictures of what you have done?

Thanks!

Who makes the caps? I've seen a spoon water one and some fake looking Mugen ones

Tegiwa imports has loads for engine dress up, coloured bolts/washers carbon manifold cover, carbon spark plug cover, carbon slam panels, their on here let them know what you want and ask for the discount. My mate was going to get the mugen cap from ebay till i told him not to do it as the genuine ones are £90 not £12, told him whats the point of having a nice car and dressing it in dog poo.

Hi We are looking for an R to do some bolt measuring on. If you can make it to Tewkesbury during the week, we will be happy to trade info for some beautiful bolts for your car?

I bought "Mugen" Oil & Rad caps on eBay, not as fakes, but because they were metal - first, I removed the 'Mugen' labels - then I painted them - primer, gold colour, lacquer ...

Ditto my AEM CAI and Oil Breather collection bottle - Engine top cover and ECU and Battery top next ! ...

(p.s. - spot the tiny Asimo !!! - he came to JAE 2012 with me) ...
