Nice colour scheme Simon..red & black is my favourite.

Can't help but think the DOHC VTEC could be black as well though, to continue the theme across to manifold cover..

Have you tried it? Maybe get a sharpie or some tape on it to test the water?

I do like the idea Crunchy as I think it would make it rather stealthy but my problem is I have ZERO faith in my abilities. To be frank I'm scared witless I'll muck everything up and make a right pig's breakfast of it.

Well it looks great anyway mate tbh, so doesn't even need doing.

Cheers matey. I am rather chuffed with it. While I was back in Blighty in January I bought the lead cover (amongst other things) off Tim (H10NDR). I think it adds something special to the overall look.

Yes mate, a tidy valve cover really makes the engine bay..and the car for that matter. That's why I want to do a nice job on mine.

Given the TLC you obviously lavish on your car (and your great looking house btw), I bet you'll have a rocker cover to be proud of in no time at all.
