Cheers James I love the contrast too!! (obviously lol) and I will get some paint on the engine soon need to degrease it and mask up around the shiny bits, I don't won't them to be matte black lol.

My dad (frodgey) should be putting an up date on
Here as he's rewiring Vini from scratch but also he's done some electrical wizardry with
My heater!!! Mwhahahahaa

It's looking mate, word of warning with the matte black engine, they don't look that good. When mine was out for a rebuild, I painted it matte black and it looked terrible, made if look dirty, almost like it was covered in oil/grease.

I've went back to gloss black now.

A Yukon grey engine would look cool though :D

there mini special alloys or exactons some times on mayfairs, which have then been split by carl at force racing so they are now 6" wide instead of 5"

Looks good but as said above I would avoid an matte black engine. Matte back is a pain to keep clean and thats never good with things like an engine. My brake calipers were matte back for about 3 days before I went and bought gloss black paint lol.

DSN shinnies are lovely! Everytime I go into the workshop I stare and dream at the lovelyness!

P.S. Love the colours and those wheels! <3
