well i'v been doing alot of rocker/coil covers for other forum members and i have a red rocker/coil cover thats 3 years old on my car and was wanting to do something a bit different so i had some time during lunch and i thort i'd get on with it , was hopeing to have my blue water pipes from the group buy here before brooklands so i could have had it all fitted but it looks like they will turn up after brooklands . have also sprayed both my front and rear strut braces electric blue so blue is the theme for the car .

still have the rocker cover to do but i'm happy with the way the coil cover has turned out so fingers cross for the rocker cover , i know its not going to be to everybodys taste but i would like some feedback before i do the rocker cover .

Maybe interesting to see how it contrasts with a polished rocker cover? Than it all the same colour! I noticed this which I think works very well. Check out other items for sale.

Does that mean you'll paint me a nice new style Fosters ring pull colour blue rocker cover, ready for Brooklands, very cheap laugh

Will give you one back in return (a rocker cover that is, not cracked) laugh

Will even give you a coil pack cover too, if you've done a good job laugh

Nah, didn't think it would be cheap and I know how much work goes into them.

Will probably end up doing mine again myself, but was worth a try laugh

to save you money ,you get the polished rocker/coil cover and then i'll give you a price as thats where all the hard work is and if i had to do it you couldn't justify the cost , sorry alex

Iain,
really like the blue. I have a shiny blue rocker cover on the Moon (just a polished coil cover though) and I think it looks fine,

See you at Brooklands,
Tim
