I've always fancied a clear dizzy cap, never seen the coloured ones though, I want a blue one now

I've never heard of them having any problems and I'm sure a few on here have got/had them

i was looking at these a little while back but decided they looked a bit chavvy

however the red one looks quite

I bought a few back in the day all in blue I sold one or two they seemed ok

I've had a clear dizzy cap on since 2008. One of my first mods.
I changed the rotor arm at the same time.

The car starts first time every time. Even now.

think rob had one? he liked it. makes your engine bay light up like fireworks.

I could never find a clear one

Always fancied these myself, too.
Seen quite a few on ludes at shows over the years and asked the owners how they found them.

The only problems I've heard of are minor ones - they can yellow slightly with age and go a bit brittle around the bolt holes, making them easy to crack if you over-tighten. If you're not into taking the cap off often though or are careful once they're old, that isn't a problem.

This lot do clear ones with 3 year warranty.

Not sure about clear ones, but I would have a blue one. Never seen any coloured ones before.

EDIT. Now got a transparent blue one on order. I'll post pics and give feedback once it arrives and gets fitted.
Thanks for the idea CARRisma

Got a knackered dizzy cap in the garage, gonna hydro dip it next week if I get chance. Should look sweet.
