I'm a fan of that actually. I tend to stay away from bodywork/paint mods except for rally cars but that's tastefully done and looks the part

good work

it might look good with some more white inside the enginebay

the bits you can see from outisde around the headlights and that, but how many rocker covers etc do you see painted white? very few because it's a bitch to keep clean but it fits with the theme on this one and could be pulled off to great effect for car meets and that. I don't know if they make stove/heat resistant paint in white but I would assume they do for a few other bits in there get it to a nice contrast

Thanks MattInARedMicra, you are kind of swaying me towards more white under the bonnet, as in the my last post I have painted the rocker cover purple with white writing, the hard part as you mentioned is heat and dirt, the only way I can think to stop that happening is to paint it with stove enamel, seal it then paint over with pearl white, but I agree, the engine bay is kind of bland.
Might also look at leads and pipes in white.
Thanks for the comment.
