![]() After reading some posts last week about detailing the engine bay, and with a 3 for 2 offer on Autoglym stuff at Halfords: I went wild...
Opened the bonnet today after a giving the car a quick wash to see how it had got on with the tyre dressing. ![]() I'm quite impressed with the results, what do you guys think? (it'll be all new shiny bolts next ...)

![]() Looks good.
Needs a bit more work on the slam panel, alloy engine mount and air con pipes. Have a look at Cliffs [Teflon] engine bay to see how far we all have to go to reach near perfection. Dave T |

![]() looks good.as for the bolts i went to my local engineering supplier i think i did the lot including some of trikey for around £12 makes a nice cosmectic improvement.and shows you care about the car in my opinion.so many times i have seen cars for sale that gleam on the outside only to see a underbonnet area that looks like a dogs dinner.puts me off but thats me

![]() I just sprayed mine with Simoniz Satin Black Aerosol - just masked it off, no need for removal. (Actually the same paint that I used on the Grille).
And Bob, I've been using Autoglym's Vinyl & Rubber spray for years - I told you ages ago aswell.... ![]() I think it looks much better black! What do you think...? ![]() ![]()

I'm never gonna get to the standard of Teflon's engine bay, I'm going to settle for not being embarrased to open the bonnet at a club meet.
