    Gold to Red....and it still looks shit...whatta you think

    Had issues with clutch cover leaking,before there were just screws through the lexan into clutch cover...a bloke in the states came up with this idea..it turned up Gold coloured..anodized..but looked horrible so i primered and painted it red..looks worse in the photos but a couple of mates reckon it looks good..me i just cant get used to it and reckon it would look better black..what do you reckon ?

    is that the same read as the suspension spring?

    Looks OK in photo, what about doing the hugger in the same red?

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black
    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
    I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
    With flowers and my love both never to come back
    I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
    Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
    I look inside myself and see my heart is black
    I see my red door and it has been painted black
    Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
    Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black



    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything?
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    Ties in nicely with the rear spring.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think the suggestion to do a dress ring for that cover came from someone here I even took pics and measured up the PCD on my own cover and sent them over... had offered the info to Rifleman first but he was not interested.

    red works nicely because it is a highlight in the emblem - you need to extend the theme further (red highlights) to make it work entirely.

    I like the RED fits in with the decals as well...but you need red spoked magnesium wheels to balance the whole picture off!!!!!!
