AS per title, looking for ideas for my 8v rocker cover as I have a spare one. Anyone painted or polished theirs?

just be careful with breathers when fitting carb type covers on later engines

I don't know what colour to paint mine on the GSi, give it a quick coat of silver to see what it looked like, but don't think it suits.
Will probably go for black?

That looks awesome!

Nothing to be careful about, I've got the 1400 carb'ed 8v. So technically it's an earlier engine lol

Benn, that looks pretty sweet as well. Not sure if I'd polish mine though.

Black with polished letters and lines looks proper retro

Mine. airbox done the same way too. Photo doesnt show justice to the lettering on the rocker cover but they are polished to the point that its like looking in a mirror!!

These are all awesome. I'm sorely tempted by the satin black cover with bright red lettering... Anyone good with photoshop? lollol
