I think that colors would look great here, and there is not likely to be any measurable downside to doing this. Bob Hoover has expressed this opinion and pointed out that some of VW's industrial engines came with tin painted in various colors, but I've never seen any of these. My personal opinion is that chrome cooling tin would look too gaudy and might actually have some undesirable side effects. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
