I'm sure you can get the letters from ebay or something....?

Noticed that it says that its a KV6 and not the NV6 they so called dubbed it as NAC took over the MGR brand...maybe its not a revised V6 then as we all may of thorght...?

iirc saic's is still the kv6 and nac's is the nv6, as well as their version of the 4 pot k series now the n series, though now they are one i'm not sure what they are calling their engines:)

Expect Vis to Imminently ****-up. Maybe the three red bars are similar to Xbox 360's three red rings of death :D

How easy are they to remove?

2 bolts in the middle and a clip at the front I think

Nice, and tehy don't hold anything else on underneath?

I am a real pleb when it comes to these things but I do fancy spraying mine a different colour! I quite like the idea of Yellow hoses on mine so maybe a yellow engine cover too!

you'll need to wait until someone who has done it can answer that, but I'd imagine that's just for holding on the cover. I know it was on the ZR anyway
