Finally got round to test fitting my cooling panel. Little job but hopefully it will neaten up my engine bay.

Ill get some when its back on, currently attempting to sort out the mess that is my bonnet catch. As its a bit touch and go whether it actually shuts or not. This is how it looked when i took it off:

And thats after. I know it doesnt look much better, but i cleaned all the cr*p off and soaked it in degreaser. And then a fresh coating of thick grease. It seems to be a lot more free now.
Off outside to fit it again. And then stav can have his pictures haha

So its an improvement. Provably need a new cable though. So ill probably bite the bullet soon and go for a whole new catch and cable.
But.....
Cooling plate is fitted, sort of, i need to take it back off once i have modified the rubber seal. Currently theres a gap at the front of the bonnet, it looks cool, but water is just going to pour in haha.
I know my engine bay needs cleaning. And my rocker cover is going for a refurb in the next couple of weeks.

looks decent mate.
Should get that cover hydro dipped!

I didnt think you could because it doesnt have a smooth surface?

then sand it smooth!

It's only the paint that is a textured finish mate, should be easy to sand smooth like stav has said.
Loads of space for a charger in there [emoji16]
