Engine Covers

  1. Has anyone done anything funky with their engine covers?

    My one in the Trophy is ok but has a mark I'm struggling to get off so I fancied having it sprayed or hydro dipped but wondered if there were any other finishes than carbon fibre people had gone for.

    My friend could spray it for me fairly cheap but not sure what colour, would ideally like it Nimbus Grey but do like the idea of a carbon finish.

    Any pictures for inspiration from you lovely Megane owners? :smile:

  4. Those all look excellent!! Question is do I go for a Nimbus grey colour or blue to go with my hoses/interior.

    Keenan225 - Is that a hand made battery cover? Looks awesome. :smile:

    This was the cover on my old 172, always intended to have the inlet powder coated but sold it before then. My friend did that engine cover inferno to match my other Megane. Only problem was with the heat it started to go a bit funny in certain places. :smile:

  8. I'm sure you have seen these already mate, but just in case....

    I had it painted on my Trophy

    I went safe and decided on carbon fibre on my 250

    A load of different patterns available though, you could go really funky!!

  9. That looks really good. Would like to do something similar to mine. Did you manage to get a replacement sticker for the battery cover or did you leave it off?
     
  10. Should see mine

  12. All paint , no stickers done by spray shack
     
  13. Steve1, that looks absolutely fantastic! :cool:

    nathrs250, I didn't bother with a replacement sticker for the battery cover, I think it looks neater without.
     
  14. I got it done to hand on my office wall, the R doesn't have an engine cover and it's too nice to be fitted mate
     
  15. Some of these are really impressive, especially the ones done with more than one colour!! Some real time and effort.

    Out of interest has anyone found the heat affect their engine cover, made the paint flake or discolour?
     
  16. Is the carbon one wrapped?
     
  17. I didn't have any problems with my cover on the Trophy Alex

  18. Thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated.

    Not sure how much worth there is in buying a genuine carbon fibre cover, it's only for looks and you'd save more weight removing it entirely than real carbon fibre haha.
     
  19. Hand made in my work, then my brother sprayed both engine cover and battery cover, he got the stickers for the engine cover made up off his friend and I bought the one on the battery cover off ebay
     
  20. 2.0 T looks like taken from A3/A4 tail gate. Nice job anyway. I would like to sort out my engine bay soon too.
     
  21. Linky for the hydro dipping ?
     
  22. This has got to be the nicest one I've seen so far.
     
  23. Cheers, honestly it a work of art, the picture just doesn't do justice to the finish, it's just to nice to put under the bonnet so I have it hanging on my wall, the R26.R is air brushed on , not stickers, I can't recommend spray shack enough
     
  24. That looks fab and exactly same colour im after for my trophy.

    Can you remember the paint code bud?
     
  25. Detailed an engine cover for my 275R...

  26. Who did you buy this off? This could be my old cover with a small chip on the right hand corner?
