Something that has puzzled me for a while ..........
Were the strengthening plates fitted inside the engine bay to the top of the suspension towers originally finished in black paint, similar to the x-brace, in the body colour or simply in a grey zinc type finish?
I have seen all 3 types on different Turbos but do not know if any are original.

Zinc plated on my Rev 3.

Thanks for the info Jon.
Also, can someone let me know if the engine bay x-brace was originally fitted above or below the strengthening plates ?
Cheers guys

x-brace goes above the plates. It has to as the stock brace only bolts to one stud each side on the suspension towers.
