    SDB as it matches your heat shield

    but if you go back to a standard heatshield then the vaux one

    Re: Opinions!!! XE plug cover

    thanks for comments guys, between the couple of forums i've posted this on it seems pretty 50/50, might just go the cheap option and paint the vauxhall one again.

    Re: Opinions!!! XE plug cover

    Can't see either, image hosting sites blocked at work. I got a belt sander and took all the lettering off my metal one then used it on the sides and nitro mores on the bolt holes. Looks great and its flat so you can put whatever you like on it or leave the whole thing flat and metal.
