    It looks a lot better in the flesh guys. Honest!

    How many of you are looking at the pics on your phones? Have another look on a bigger screen and you'll see what I mean.

    They look bloody superb.

    I did! I copied.
    Each to they're own on the covers as per everyone's reaction. They're very different & not what I expected Graham.
    Looks very professional & a great finish.
    I usually go a bit mental with colours under the bonnet as it's the only part you don't see every day. I like it.
    Those crazy samco hoses would look wild matched up with them.

    Good effort on being a lil different dude. Not for me this. You may get away with it if it was just the spark cover done.

    You would say that, you talked him into that design. I'm not doubting the quality, it's just I don't think that design suits Graham's car.

    I suggested that design but I also suggested chrome but Graham's a big boy and is (usually) capable of making up his own mind.

    The quality is top notch I must say and well worth the cost, if you are thinking of having anything covered/dipped I can thoroughly recommend them.

    Not all of you will like the pattern I went with, but it's different and we like them.

    Go on, be honest, what do you think.....





    Ok, now I didn't expect that Graham! At first glance they look like they're made of thick glass that's shattered. Gonna have to see them in the flesh before I give an honest opinion but to be fair mate everyone has different tastes and if we didn't it would be a boring world. Glad they've got them back to you in time for Swedish and BKV.

    Ermmmm, it's different and I think it would look okay on a car which was heavily modified in all departments, but as yours is so tidy and mainly o.e. looking it looks out of place in my opinion, but it's your car and if your happy with it, that's all that matters.
