Black because black is badass

Tbh it doesn't really matter since its only a small block that you probably won't be showing off, I painted mine yellow and the only time anyone sees it is if I'm putting water in it at the services :lol:

They do look fairly good chromed and all it takes is cutting compound and a poo tonne of sanding
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I'm doing my rocker cover polished, find it so much better when you open the bonnet imo.
