So after getting all the exhausts done and interior I needed to do something about the heat

Last year I used exhaust wrap, never again the stuff if bloody horrible after a while so I looked in to ceramic coating
Was shocked to get a price was quoted over £600 for 2 manifolds,2 downpipes and 2 turbine housings but after hearing some of the good benefits I went ahead and had them done

Was really pleased with the outcome

Like most parts I do , I do like my shiney bits so the comp housings on the turbos had to go for polishing too

And when I got them back and all together they look amazing

There was also a few things I needed to rectify from last year oil lines drains and breathers , so I also made a new panel to cover there old battery wires in the front battery tray where I mounted the new catch tank and billet clutch reservoir

Next big thing was paint I decided I'd had enough of just black and wanted something a little different , I knew what colour I wanted , getting it was a different matter
Anyway I decided on a black cherry candy custom mix with a silver metallic base coat

It didn't go well and was a pig to paint
But we got it done , now it's seen the light of day I really wanted it Abit brighter than it actually is unless you have some big flood lights on it as in the pics below when we painted it

I'll let the pics do the talking

Very nice colour pick I think it is similar to Honda Accord Type-R in "Pirates black" that I have, it looks completely black until the light is reflected of it and then it looks dark red, very nice :cool:
