Default A bit of blingish..

With all the neving peeps do on their Zeds and 75's under bonnets , the 260 is a big mess of black cables and pipe work..

So in a sea of black .. one lil bit of homemade bling

from this



to this ..

Just building up the layers of Laquer at the mo'.

but any more suggestions how add bling gratefully rec'd ...

Covered few cables with Blue Spiral warp, but not convinced on that yet!!

The general 260 layout is a right mess . a bit like all the others when the covers is off

older piccy ..




Got one more sticker so could go on on a fuse cover panel ?

I've have a few large bits of stainless sheet but need the inclination to cut it about

Coloured pipe work ?? not so sure , can look a bit chavy if too much.

Keene and bell stuck on top seems to dress the engine bay nicely........if just a tad expensively

The cost for that is only part of it

Actually getting one is the biggest problem now!

Like the oilcap, really nice touch!
I have a alternator cover i stainless steel that looks nice! . Also blinged my car with a polished 75mm throttlebody from Professional Product! Can't add a picture cause when I press "Insert picture" it asks me to enter a URL!?

Love the oil filler cap - really nice.

As you already have the stainless steel, why not fabricate a brushed stainless steel fuse box cover and get you build data etched onto it? Though if I were doing mine again, I would use the VIN number rather than vehicle reg.
