My Rover V6 cover arrived today and it's in great condition albeit a little oily. It's an exact fit as anticpated. It was only £7.50 plus delivery. The cheapest I found a MG one for was £30 plus delivery. I'll clean it up and get it painted as quick as I can. Should I go for TB (match the car) or red? I can see this being the beginning of an engine detailing bug :whistle:
I also have an extra little idea for it but I'll keep that under my hat until I do it - if I do it! Nothing exciting just an addition to painting the engine cover.

I'd go for TB on a TB car.

Mines silver, but I think it works best colour coded to the car.

That's what i'm thinking. Next I will need to see which pipes I can change for blue silicone and then I need to find some shiny bits...

Hehe, it can get addictive. Ive been looking at bits I could change or spray etc, but theres not a lot of choice off the shelf for the ZS. I'd like a nice XPower branded battery cover and things like that but there nowt available :(
