Default Cossie Rocker cover Re-paint + RS500 cooler fitting

Wanting to change my rocker cover from the manky old dirty red one to a blue one to match my hoses.

Had a spare one i found in my garage so got some paint stripper and stripped it to the bone .Then went round andys( rsnissan) where he sprayed it for me






after andy had done his dues i took it home and sanded down the raised bits ,all it needs now is the hole drilled through on the top for the breather pipe and then a coat of laquer




Its come out pretty good and at a fraction of the price for a new refurbed one which is what i was original gonna do.

I will get pictures up of it when its in car also when breathers fitted and new esc cossie turbo heat shield also
