Engine Drivetrain 1st Gen Cooper Most liked posts in thread: Engine Bay Bling

Ok... So I was helping a friend with a brake job today and applied a few coats of plastidip between wheels.

AFTER:

 

Installed

 

Ok... My wife says that I'm crazy and now I'm starting to believe her.

Here is my new and improved brake fluid cap (the text used to be yellow).

 

More fun with paint.

 

$4 on eBay (and they make 'em in RED): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BRIGGS-AND-STRATTON-Decal-Car-Truck-Window-Sticker-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa4226907QQitemZ320581298439QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Even better.... find a recoil-start mechanism (lawn mower pull cord) and mount it up front in the engine bay or perhaps sticking out the front lower grill! :lol:

 

If you want the exact same thing I have, you can use this file: http://www.focusoa.com/sticker/Combined_white%20on%20red.pdf

If you want to play a bit on your own, feel free to use these PSD (Photoshop) files:

I've got an email out to Rodney, my vinyl contact, to see if he wants any more work like this.

If you use the PSD files, try to generate a similar PDF file to send to Rodney... he can print up to 12" wide and has a by the foot pricing model.

Also: I just put these on my car... I can't talk at all to durability, etc.

 

Very nice, Checkers! I like the chromed/polished intercooler and horns. Looks like you did the 'vert braces as well, but had 'em chromed! (mine are just rattle-can red... same color as the intake bit above)

What are you using for tops for the power steering and coolant tanks? I just ordered the Forged tanks today, but I don't think they come with tops.

 

Better pic with good lighting

 

Yeah... I thought about removing the decals, but I need somewhere to sport the MA decal! . Also, the scoop isn't in that great of shape... I got it used and it was chewed up a bit.

I've got some paint projects coming... Maybe it is time for a cleanup on that part. You have me thinking...

 

Heh... I thought you meant the Intercooler scoop. Just realized you meant the yellow and green stickers. Hmmm... Will think about that.

 

Nice! I thought about hiding a few small LED lights inside of the pipe i painted in post #1 of this thread.

 

I pulled the yellow and green decals, mounted the M7 diverter and Forge tanks. I've got some red plastidip on the way for the dipstick and a few other bits.
