Spark plug covers.... Lets see em!

[DDS789]

Hi all

I'm thinking of buying a new spark plug cover :awesome:

I like my standard one at the mo but its cracked at the end and is just getting worse and second hand standard ones are like rocking horse poo!

I bought a cheap carbon one but the quality and condition was rubbish, was really wavy in the lacquer when it caught a reflection, are they all like that? Plus I fear I will end up with a carbon addiction if I'm not careful :razz:

My bay at the mo

Was thinking a shiny one but fear my autosol purchases may become too high :shock: lol

Show me some pics of what you have

 

[evogeof]

spec r is the only option

Lol amazing Geof

Can you now delete that pic so my bay doesn't look tatty and you don't scare everyone else off :razz:

Do like the spec R one, its a contender!

Just carbon for me

 

[DDS789]

you bay looks nice mate

Cheers mate, means a lot coming from you! Can't find the spec r one on their site, that means they are EXPENSIVE lol.

Do the 789 ones all fit my 5?


Billy, I remember your "stealth" bay from when I first signed up on here. Do like the carbon ones. I just fear their fitment, has yours cracked at the bolt holes at all?

 

[Billy MR]

Yes small cracks, thinking of getting a Ross sport one then powder coating it crackle black to match

 

[DDS789]

Do you have links to the Ross sport ones?

 

[Billy MR]

No but ill find you one

You can't find them as there's only ever been 2 made and I got the first one

 

[Billy MR]

Here you go

 

[Dirtmatt]

Here you go

Those carbon rocker covers do look good, you can get magnesium rocker covers as well

I currently have the no plug cover look going on lol.

 

[DDS789]

Looks ace that billy. Are they rare too? Can't seem to find them anywhere.


Dirtmatt. I know they do look great, IV just put a carbon slam panel on then it'll be plug cover then cam cover then..... Then..... Then....... SKINT! Lol


I'd go coverless if I was rocking a COP kit :awesome: more expense lol

The list grows

Cambelt etc n service
Wheel refurb
Powerflex most suspension parts
Plug cover

When all that's done there will be more :sneaky:

Ha haa ya swine tempting me with that only to tell me they're the rarest of rare! :razz:

 

[Dirtmatt]

You could wait maybe a year or so to have one made

 

[DDS789]

Your as bad as Geof! :razz:

Think I may buy the OE one off a later car with just the mitsi logo on.

 

[Dirtmatt]

All here to help mate ask Geof about the service of spec r lol.

Evo 9 plug cover looks decent. Carbon looks the best just too expensive for what it is lol.

 

[DDS789]

Yeah it does look great looking at Billy's makes me want one. But I won't be happy with just the plug cover, I will HAVE to get a cam cover to match!

Plus I don't think they are that we'll made for the price, like how Billy's has cracked. They need the little steels spacers building into them like the OE stuff. Kinda why I fancied a metal one. Squeakyclean used to own mine, I think back then they had a AMS cover on it.
