If it was from billet, they cost normally a lot more than that.


Just looked, billet ones normally £100 ish upwards

Thought standard ones were pressed steel ... if so steel can not be anodised.

If it anodised it must be ally.

There was a guy selling standard covers with holes cut in them as a cheap version of a cut-a-way cover.

My standard one is steel. Were aluminium ones just fitted to certain years/models?

I thought ally ones were aftermarket items only, hence why I think the one on e-bay can not be a standard cover that has been cut.

Looks good Steve.
If you continue to bling up the 999 you won't want to sell it.
