My new intercooler!!!

[MiniMan7]

Had my intercooler painted to match my car the other day, then fancied it up by putting an S badge from the rear on it.

What do you guys think?

That looks good............

[sergio rollerfunk]

sweet!! I was thinking about getting mine painted too....

...nice job too with the S logo...how did you do that?

Very nice MM7.

Looks really cool.

Did you spray it up yourself?

Also, does the tailgate "S" stick over the "S" Bulge, or did you have to file the bulge down? Any close ups?

Any problems with rubbing?

Very smart

I had a bodyshop paint it for me. I just stuck the rear S over the bulged out S. Looks pretty damn good and you can't even tell there was a bulged out S in the first place.

I'll take some more close up pics later on.

Think I might have to get this done when I get some funds... tres cool.

Close ups of the "S" would be nice too though. Did the body shop have to rub/sand down the plastic, or did they not really tell you what was involved?

Sorry for the 20 questions, but I really think I'll do this eventually!

That makes two of us then Paul (when i finally get mine )

It works really well with the EB, wonder if the other colours look as good ??

Since this is the "exterior" forum, does that mean that Miniman7 is driving around with his hood open so everyone can see his very nice intercooler plate?

My MCS is black so looks like I've saved money on painting my cover

[azimmerm]

looks great! i was thinking about doing this but wasn't sure how it would look. thanks for the pics!

[MiniMan7]

Here's some close up pics I took today. Sorry about for the darkness.





The bodyshop sanded down the peice before they painted. Other than that it was pretty standard. They first sanded, then painted, then baked.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.
