I don't know if this is in the right place or not, but, I'm toying with replacing some bits on the engine for bling.

Don't get me wrong the unnecessary chrome on the outside of the car is going, but I'm considering a chrome rocker cover and distributor cap (when it has a distributor fitted in the first place!).

Whadya reckon? Unnecessary and it'd look awful or ok?

was in DSN a couple of months ago and they had the rocker cover below, the thing is engineering porn, not sure if i could justify the price though!

chrome cover is a bit to shiney for my liking, dull it down with a brushed finish maybe?
