Perhaps you could repaint
I even grimaced over the color. I picked a gunmetal silver, because I didn't want it too bright. Now it should have been smaller.
I guess I should have asked for a design approval before proceeding. I guess it still can be changed. Maybe a Rennlist logo would be more appropriate. haha

OK, stupid question, can the Turbo be driven, while the shroud is at the paint shop?

Shouldn't be a problem. Once it is done don't forget to post some pic's.
Why? 'cause we love pic's

This has been on my to-do list for a while so now I am motivated again....but what color? Red? Yellow? Orange? Silver? Purple?

And should I do the fan while I'm in there? Decisions, decisions....

...and anyone know of a good source for replacement stickers?

I love the combination of Arena Red with yellow... yellow calipers, seatbelts, and of course, yellow intercooler:

Carnewal (Gert) shows a Mobil 1 sticker on his web site under "General".

driven, sure, but the IC will not be sealed off nearly as well so don't be going out and doing 30 minute track sessions.

Is that the orange turbo that was at true speed? Are there more pics of that car?

After reading this thread I thought why not! So I cleaned the tin up and sanded away for a while with some 1200 grit. It took ages. But lots of cleaning and a few coats of clear it came up well.
Looks so nice when you lift the boot now.
Cheers
