Is this Bling or Ming

Post by bstardchild »

Hi All

So I know you are all bored with BBS Split rim refurb - I am :lol:

I thought I'd have a play with a spare rocker cover (thanks Gareth GT Hatch) while I had all the polishing stuff out......

Question is

Is this Bling or Ming for a 1.4 8V rocker cover

Casting quality is pretty poor so it took a hell of a lot of time and effort with various grades of wet and dry before I even went near it with the polishing mops and compound. When it comes to taking photos I'm no David Bailey BTW and the photos were done under house lighting so it actually does look better than the pics but the poll results decide if I fit it or not.........

Anyone want it if I don't? See its only going to be fitted while I do the one thats already on the the car as it doesn't have both cutouts so should be easier to polish up (if I decide to do it :roll: ) so this one will be avaliable whatever..... :lol:

LOL - So did I - only so I didn't affect the outcome and i could view the poll results 8)

I did say on another post "if we all like the same thing life would be very boring" :lol: Perhaps I should have said I like the std bumper more than I like the 16V bumper - it a close run thing tho :oops:

Over 60 views and 9 votes - well 8 if I don't count my own - not much interest really - engine change is out of the question so this is just the start of making it look nice......

I like it. I'm hoping to get mine done with maybe the exhaust heat shield. Just breaks the engines usual black/dull/rusty tones up.

Bling; on the the 'too do' list already along with the heat shield :oops:

Unless the unlikely happens and my G40 goes in there...
