    Got a black cover too. Got bored after putting it back together. So I sprayed my spare one.
    Didn't realise how cack it looked until I fitted it...
    More minus points for the purists.

    I quite like the chrome cover set that you can buy, but if I did the change, then I'll keep all the old covers.

    I nearly bought a chrome cover set. I know its is the opposite of every I stand for. But it was shiny. Oooooooooooo.

    Insted I invested the money in a polybush wish bone kit. Anti rollbar repair kit (poly) and some new standard droplinks
    I don't break gearboxes. Just engine mounts.............
