Looks gorgeous Jez.

Still doing the calipers? If so, get a move on mate! Can't wait! LOL.

Not sue about the calipers now, quite like the gloss black. Need to have a think on that one.

Nice approach, not cost saving though

That is on my list of projects that is getting done, so glad that you post the pics with it on, now I'm really looking forward it. How much is just the cover, didn't thought about keeping oem cover for reserve.

It only retails at BMW for £84 so thought it was cheap enough to just buy one.

Just wondering if it would hold up with all the heat in the engine bay

Time will tell but I can't see why not. It's got a foam membrane under the cover which protects it.

You wont have any issues mate, Lee painted my rocket cover satin black on my other car and 3yrs later and a number of track sessions its still looking the same
