[Keith]

[ka$h]

Fuse and airbox lids should be silver too. Oh and FFS get rid of that bloody bonnet rest. You have bonnet lifters, and it looks blody stupid sat there.

[Andy_SRi]

as far as I can tell, so long as you only take the rocker cover off and not the cylinder head off you wont need to replace owt ;)

[Havank]

the stuff your on about is normally on ebay, and is a film that goes over the product. the carbon is like clingfilm on top of water, and then you dip the product into the water, it then gets covered in the carbon and you simply rub the edges off :)

[Ian]

Havank, Diddon was asking what things needed to be replaced if he took his rocker cover off, seals etc...:lol:

[David]

cheers mate

going to do the dumb bit but what does the cylinder head look like

and I have plans for the engine just not yet, just though while the bodyshop where painting would be a good idea. Will only be cosmetic stuff as car "WILLL" be sold when the new one goes into production

stick on carbon why would get a proper carbon one if I was going to.


Yes Kash I will remove that when I get a moment :lol:

[Andy_SRi]

cylinder head = proper metal bit under the plastic bit I think :lol:

[David]

I have found out nothing will need replacing so it's all good

[Andy_SRi]

Champion :D
