Fixed the "oil cooler a little warm on track" issue and enlarged the cold air intake to match on the other side..
Got hold of a second hand set of fog covers (so I can obviously still have the stealth standard look when wanted!) I already had a second drivers side cover with a toe eye hole pre-drilled, but missed the passenger fog cover.. (Many thanks BigE!)
I spent most evenings this week occupying the shed and using the oven in the kitchen baking paint! much to Wanda's amusement.
This was the idea.. fit as big a duct as possible in the cover without making it look REALLY crap!
So sand down with 400 grit and then 600 and prime! bake/prime/bake rub down some more/dry prime/bake!
Once the Primer was done it was on with the metallic, no rubbing down here other than 1 coat before the end.. Looks pants without lacquer!
I didn't use a mask 1 night, and my shed is pretty small, the night was painful as was the next day.. so did my best Bane impression the next night..
Once they have had 5 or 6 coats of metallic and some lacquer they look a lot better.. just a quick flatten with some 2500grit and a quick compound and polish!
Not a bad colour match!
The finished article. with custom gauze glued in place.
The other side was a lot easier, I simply cut the hole pealed the remaining stickers of and mounted the duct..
The end result on the car doesn't look to bad I think.. It should hopefully be very effective, The ID of the ducts is 89mm!
Just to reiterate, I still have original covers and am able to swap between the two!
