   But for thier price, (im just getting it for looks) do you think that that package really saves you 50 odd quid?

   there not bad. i used them for my full engine and when i first got them they looked spot on. however unless you clean and polish them all the time they fade and stain. plus you have to be really carefull when polishing them with autosol as they scratch really easy

    i bought some off him before, i wouldnt say they are the best fitment i had to modify most of them, battery one because i have a better battery than the standard one, brake fluid one, am not sure why, ECU one because you need the plastic one for it to fit over, but a nut and a tie wrap helped there
    
    mine aint chrome anymore because i scratched them to bits whilst cutting and modifying them so there now brushed aluminium effect, wire brush on a drill

    actually its only the rocker cover that is chrome due to me not being able to scratch it even with a wire brush, triple plated chrom rocks lol
    
    
    
    the mani cover will be off when the supersprint is on, and im also thinking about spraying them all matt black
