If you end up selling your engine cover, I would be interested depending on price and condition.
Cheers

cut it yourself and you can even paint it with can of spray from halfords top job and easy

Takes about 15minutes to measure and cut and some time to spray to liven it up otherwise if you not bothered to spray it 15mins and you are done

Anyone know which colour of red best matches the red stripe round the front grill?

i got a picture of it somewhere on the forum not to long ago was posted but if you go to halfords and find code for maybe tornado red they can mix it for you on spot might be a better red i just picked up high temp as though be much better for how hot it gets under the bonnet
