I still cant believe it. Amazing stuff.  Would you consider ceramic coating for the piping? Cost more but using the chrome looking ceramic would look cool. Not that I'm saying anything wrong with powder coating.

Dont want to much shiny stuff no chrome under the bonnet i want it to look like its meant to be there.

So headers and dump pipes all heat coated intake and intercooler piping all cream with subtle  pinstriping in volcanic grey engine covers cream engraved logo into coil cover in grey all intercooler silicon joiners black blow off valve is turbosmart V port in black everything else on engine and engine bay will be anodised silver to look stock bonnet hinges are going to be an issue as i can only get billet ones so might make my own yet. i was going to buy my own anodising kit and do it myself comes with everything.

i love the idea of you making your own bonnet hinges..........
are you not using stock ones cause you CAN make your own?
or  is there another reason??
