fair enough lol. im thinking of doing the same with a genuine sparkplug cover. going to paint the rocker cover black and the spark cover blue. modding a car never ends! keep up the good work with the splitter mate.

Cheers pal. Was the only type of cover I could find I can't put the plastic one on coz of my VX inlet plus it looks ugly.

Got a head light out at the moment the earth spade has snapped off my angel eyes so got to get that sorted tomorrow

Then I'm going to attempt to get some colour on the splitter now I've got rid of the cracks.
