smiffy 99 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 What colour should i paint my plenum and plug cover Loads of peeps are using black, but the car is black and under the bonnet will look a bit morbid i think. Classic red will look awesome!!!! i think it will brighten up the engine bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 If you choose red then it WILL go pink anyway, so no, not red imo, I think mauve with the bling and polished lettering will set off the bay just right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2spark 6 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Only Alfa red goes pink. Use any other brand he'll be fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Glow in the dark What colour interior does yours have? I think i remember it being grey/black? How about doing it anthracite/dark grey with red lettering & lines? That would look good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
