gave the rocker cover a flat and polish the othersay after the paint had been left to harden, didnt turn out so bad for the first time ive done it





also got a plug cover today of a mate so set about modding it to fit







still undecided weather to get one made in carbon or polish this one up to a mirror finish like my boost pipes/inlet im thinking polished will look better

Polished would work well now...

Carbon would have worked better with the old front end IMO.

What about blue to go with the hoses, or maybe anthracite? It might look nice with some shiny paint.

hope that clutch works out for you... an old mate had one very similar on a tuned itb'd c20xe and it seemed a bit too sharp... struggled to get a good launch with it
