[Mk2] [Generic] F40 engine lid

Post by kayjay0_7 »

I've got an F40 engine lid on the 2 and I cannot decide if it should stay black or do I colour code it and get it sprayed white

+5 for white Kelvin. Looks unfinished in black. When you change your mind about it we'll form an orderly queue!

As it stands it should be white however I think it would look better with an entirely black roof and the engine lid staying black :thumleft:

Maybe get a mock photoshop of all the options done on your behalf?

Good choice Kelvin :thumleft: after seeing how it looks in white then I agree with the others.

Although, worth looking at the Photoshop suggested by Karl. I think white and black in a Sonic Shadow style would look cool.

i agree with the all black roof engine cover and mirrors think it will look awesome and contrast well with wheels :)

Black roof would be an interesting move, yeah :thumleft:

Alloys are really nice. Never heard of Bahnsport but the rear dish is savage.
