Think there about 5 each or there about's not 100% as I didn't buy them

Eh? I was talking about the spark plug cover - http://www.reverie.l..._code=R01SE0299

Sorry thought you was referring to the bolts

Yeah I was half tempted from reverie but there very expensive for what they are

Aimy is yours one of those dipped ones? Think I remember reading something about a place that did it recently? -Dab-of-Oppo- bit steep that over 200 notes to say the least. Would skinning a plastic come out ok & would that still not be worth you doing? Cheers.

No it's a real carbon one that I had made up specially

If you just wanted the look it would be far better and easier to have a half and half 'faked' one. Would look identical once installed and the fit of the clips etc would be guaranteed to be snug. When I can be bothered I'll probably make a few skinned ones as I have loads of CF fabric on a roll and plenty of resin etc. Just need to find a few cheap bog standard OEM covers from an Astra or something to use as a base. You could allways have a go yourself it's pretty easy to get a good result, buying small amounts of materials just for one small job may not be the most cost effective if your not going to make use of bigger quantities though.

I had my rear spoiler dipped by Hydrographics in York some years ago.

Sounds good. I'll form an orderly queue for one if you decide to skin some.

Cheers.
