Bandit Looking good matey, have you thought about doing your ecu,fuse box and relay covers?
Thats looks fantastic, I like how you managed to continue the rising sun pattern over the vvti cover etc.
I had thought about doing more, but because my car is black I don't know if it would look as good all blue?
I was just going to highlight a few key points to break it up a bit.
I'll photoshop the rest of the covers to see what it would look like though.

Bandit Another option mate, would be to do them gloss black, but still have the blue parts as well? so they all have a shine to them? :thumbup1:
Thats not a bad idea actually! I've still got a can of gloss black left over from when I did my calipers aswell....
I've been trying to find somewhere that can do a process called water transfer printing. You can put patterns like carbon fibre over fairly complex 3D shapes with it, I was thinking of getting the remaining covers done like that. I thought carbon and metalic blue would look awesome together!

Ha ha, Thanks. That's what I was going for. They've been painted purple but the camo pattern on the top is printed vinyl. I did it all myself ( I work as a designer/signmaker). I'm going to do a few other bits and hopefully the underside of the bonnet too.
Edit.
Here is a better pic, the other one was a bit small.
