I wouldn't mind something different colour wise!

How much would a 2nd hand 'screwcap' cover cost me? 30/40 quid??

Something like a candy apple red spadge?! would look mint with a silver base under it actually and candy blue would do 2 thinkin about it

Mike, yea was thinkin maybe blending a few colours together like that?! not suer which ones thou would look good

Cars moonstone blue, and was thinkin about getting some black samco's so would have to fit in with that!!


Smit they go for about Ł50 odd on ebay every now and again.

Ive got a spare one so i can chop and change between the 2 when i get bored and change the colours
