I found on eBay USA a carbon spark plug cover and black 4AGE cam cover too. Looked pretty good, but for the price its not worth it. May as well use carbon wrap.

I probably will buy the clear Zackleecorp Clear Cambelt Cover as soon as I get my camshaft pulleys sprayed.

Hmmm...If I got my camshaft pulleys sprayed as a rising sun too with a clear cover and then cam covers....would that look sh!t?

There is one for £66 and one for £100

I think it'd look pretty awesome. The cambelt will be changed on the engine anyway so the cover will be coming off.

But xxxx, I've just realised I'll have to spray the camshaft pulleys in situ as I will not be unbolting them from the engine as i'm not taking the camshafts out ](*,)

You could just remove the pulleys, they bolt on.

The flag you've pictured is that of the Japanese Imperial Army. Its still seen today displayed by far right extremists so bear in mind its considered offensive by many.

If you want a true symbol of modern Japan how about some Hello Kitty graphics instead?

Thanks for the heads up, but no offence, Hello Kitty graphics does not appeal to me.

Have you guys ever looked at the IMOC logo? ;)

To be fair I honestly think that the 'rising sun' image/flag is very widely used thesedays.

LOL about Hello Kitty!

That was my first idea Ollie but I found that it has been done so many times and wanted a change of the norm

Great find chris! I'm sure I'd seen something similar somewhere!!

Nah I'll stick with the rising sun thanks, got to prep the covers properly first though. Might have a go tonight at stripping them.
