Here's the Cam Cover guide <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Mods that took me ages to find, do you think we could put this in the detailed FAQ. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I stripped my LE cover and pollished it up but I guess you could strip it and repaint it.

I just took the cover off and painted it with Nitromorse paint stripper, left it for 15 minutes then wiped it off with wire wool. Had to do this a couple of times to get some of the stubborn red paint off but it cleans up the the normal alloy cover.
I guess you can them prime and paint it any colour you like.
