Out of the two options, I'm feeling the Vaux one!!!
Do you have any SBD parts in the engine?

em yes, theres actually 7 items in the picture which were purchased through SBD.
thanks for comments guys, between the couple of forums i've posted this on it seems pretty 50/50, might just go the cheap option and paint the vauxhall one again.
i'd say go for the carbon one too then :thumb:
carbon one, as it matches the heat shield

whats the crack with the belt cover having the holes cut out so you can see the pullys, just cosmetic or functional???
and the vx cover looks better

and the vx cover looks better so that you can adjust the pulleys without taking the cover off. so functional
its only cool if you have adjustable pully's..
make holes to show youre original pully's = fail

Vauxhall one but its a tough call.
Carbon one matches the heat shield, but does your car have any SBD parts/mods

Shhhhteady, no dummies being spat here pal, just emphaising the price! Grey one does look mint but black suits the car imo, that's why I had it done like that the first time

I vote the Vauxhalll one but personally I'd have the dohc & 16v bit milled off flat, so yours will just say Vauxhall & make it a tad more unique.

Ive seen that the other way round... vauxhall ground off just leaving dohc 16v. Looked really well. I still prefer the sbd item you had tbh but the plug covers with polished letters do look well regardless of colour :thumb: , On another note I take it you recieved your carbon vin tag? was it ok for you?
