Hi there guys!

Want to tidy the engine bay up a tad on my MPi, but the chrome rocker covers that seem popular on carb'd Mini's seem to conflict with the black plastic air boxes. I like the look of the slanted, finned 998 rocker covers and would consider buying one and painting it black.

So, just looking for inspiration really , I would love to see pics of your MPi engine bays!

Thanks.

Ben.

Simply remove the air box and replace it with a K&N air filter which fits directly onto the throttle body. The 2 silver tubes are metal flexible hoses which are used the channel cold air to the filter.

I like the finned, metro style rocker covers. I was just wondering where I could buy one in black? Only seen them in silver, and I know if I paint it myself I will ruin it. xD
