clutch cover paint colour

[tevie54]

Hi, does anyone know what colour the clutch cover should be? Mine's been repaired at some point (a crack caused by a drop I presume) but it would be nice if it was the right colour

Or stick a Carbonadi clutch cover protector over it.

I like the look of that, I've already got a carbon hugger so !!!!

And Carbonadi ones are thick and strong, unlike some of the cheap see through ones around.
They will protect the engine in a drop rather than looking pretty but cosmetic only.

If you go down the Carbonadi route for the cover and get both covers,make sure you ask him to put both the holes in it for the inspection covers.Quality bits of kit.

Thanks for all the advice, I think the carbon cover is the way to go and all for under fifty quid, I don't plan on dropping it but if the unthinkable happened then at least I'm not spilling the contents of the engine all over the road and seeing as the cover has already had a repair I feel it's weakened already.

For me it wasn't so much keeping the engine from spilling oil onto the road as preventing bits of road from getting into my engine.

True.
Just as an aside, I was in Dunelm the other day and noticed they did Rustoleum spray paint and they do one called Gun Metal metallic and It's almost a perfect match in case anyone's interested.
