   Nah, its not a vts. Is it expensive to get it chromed?? Any ideas? Or would it be easier to paint it instead?

    here we go mate i think gold will set it off a treat imo, then all you have to do is pressure wash the engine use some WD40 to shine up the black plastic bits and it will look

    Nice one mate cheers!!! I can't decide which i prefer tbh. I'll have to have a think! The sprayer that did one of the panels on my car said it was hard to find the exact match as the car. So it wouldnt be the same gold. Rep on the way mate. Much appreciated!

    its on the top strut in engine bay or on the sticker where the tyre pressures are, i did a guide to tell you where you can find it and which letters to use
