Hey all

So i've had my baby for almost a year now. she's a '99 200IE EURO. silver with a cloth interior. very very neat. 99% OEM apart from the 50mm stainless.

so there was some oil seeping through the tappet cover gasket the other day and i decided that while i had the cover off i might as well give it a lick of colour.

here are the before and afters

let me know what you think. i'll be posting some more full shots of the car soon.

The cover looks neat, but now youve started something and have to do the whole engine now, lol.

What color is the car?
