Bit of TMC engine Bling
« on: January 21, 2012, 01:46:58 PM »
Ive always wanted to dress up and add abit extra colour under the bonnet. Normally I just paint rocker covers to add extra colour as usally engine bays are so boring but with the 500 its quite snazzy to start off with but there's always room to improve :thumb:

The TMC/GTTuning covers are really nice quality and as long as you got the right socket set its not rocket science, it took me about 30mins including abit of back and fourth as I couldnt find the right tools I wanted lol

Along with the Forge silicone induction hose I think it really sets off the engine bay, the eagle eye'd might have spotted the shinny oil cap, this was another TMC purchase and is A-Mazing quality, it really is a nice bit of kit and the glass insert is a really nice touch. Daron was saying he hasnt got many of these left so if you fancy one, and I think you'd be crazy to think the yellow plastic one looks better, get in touch with him and get one quick :thumb:

Now for the pic's

The oil cap came before the two red covers...

Before




After








With covers










Id love to compliment the engine bay with a TMC/GTTuning induction kit but Id like to look down the suspension route first, but we're see :D

Looking cool Chris  8). GTT/TMC stuff certainly does jazz up the engine bay :thumb:

To be honest when Ive done abit more maybe induction kit and actuator Im more likely to go for a remap rather than a tuning box but Daron did say he can do remaps so if and when Im ready I'll probably pay the man a visit over to Ireland, as me and the missis have fancied going to Ireland for a while - two birds with one store :thumb:

Cheers for the comments fellas

That looks really good  :thumb:

Only thing that looks odd is the battery box, its to square  ??? Everything is rounded and flowing then BAM! a big red square thing..

I do know what you mean lol

Maybe it needs a sticker on top to take the eye off the fact its a great big bit of Red metal, Ive seen some nice re-production classic Abarth service stickers, you know the type where you write on the mileage of the next service, but not sure.

Think it is what it is, a colourfull cover for the battery.

Tonys got Red ones too, but they do more colours now including polished items. They also do turbo heat shields too :thumb:
