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

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
