I was tired that my SPI looked like it was 50 years old. I used Low Gloss Paint, so it wouldnt be shinny but clean, heres what it use to look like and what it is now!
what do you guys think?

Allow me to be the first to offer my condolences on being stuck with the SPI.
On the plus side, the valve cover looks good after the paint job.

I'm sure he appologizes for getting 200km/tank more than the zetec :P

I'm sure he does, but I don't have a Zetec anymore so i'm not overly worried about that :lol:

yeah! it's not a HUGE modification, but it makes the engine bay a little cleaner.
Now im gonna shoot the short ram soon so i matches with the valve cover, because theres like 3 colors, blue red and black, kinda looks silly! :huh:
