What are you getting it sprayed in? Thought you were sticking with the matt black outside with the contrasting engine bay?

ach as much as we like the matt black we feel it needs something cleaner as its going through so many phases.

its getting painted pearl white with a pearlescent pink in the lacquer

It's gonna look awesome in pearl white...

It will !
Can't wait to be fair, it's been a long time coming haha!

Got a packet of rocker cover bolts in the post this morning

Old bolts out

Fitted the three small front bolts before realising the long bolts needed fitting from the inside first lol

They bolt into the head and then the other bolts would go on when the cover is on.

Put the o rings on wrong at first and they fell into the valve cover, so if anyone gets them make sure and put the o ring like this

Looks nice I think

I know...I hate password jdm aswell.
but they look better than standard and the small things make a big difference

Got an oil cap, vtec solenoid cover and a gear knob with retainer all in Neo chrome on the way, should be here with in the week

Yep, they look much nicer.
