I have been battling to come up with the right combination of paint color for the 8TB intake pods, the center plastic bit with Harrop on it and the other covers like the fuse box etc.

The basic set up already decided will be polished alloy ORI with twin inlets, red LPG things on the top of the engine, braided lines throughout, red silicone joiners and a basic tidy up and polish of the engine bay.
The car is green obliviously and the silver inserts on the side skirts, front spoiler and rear spoiler will be a custom gold color similar to lambo gold. Not as bright as the photo

Couple of arrangements
As is now basically

Couple of alternatives. just ignore the fibro ORI. The pulleys will be anodized red.

This LPG gear and lines will be mounted to the 8TB intake and all will be anodized red or braided lines. Not sure about the injectors

and the lambo gold color I will be getting on the sides of the cat. Close to the color anyway but I have the perfect one I want made up. It is just a little brighter than the photo but not too much gloss

The car will have the VY supercar spoiler on it too.

The pods MUST stay naked carbon fiber. Just get them clear coated.

The Harrop plastic bit should be the lambo gold to continue the gold from the spoiler up through the middle of the car.

IMO leave things like the fuse box lid black. They are ugly and dont need attention drawn to them
