ah crap, i will have to go with my other idea which was to get plug cover smoothed (metal one) then get the whole lot air brushed to look like the inside does so it appears there is no rocker cover on. just to mess with peoples minds.

That was a different cover completely wasn't it though? I've got a pic of one on a methanol race car my mate had in for mapping somewhere. Looks almost like a rover.
