Title: Engine covers
Post by: Car nut on 25 May 2009, 17:04

Hi Guys\girls

I see a lot of people spray the OEM ones to match there car or engine pipes etc....  :laugh:

Whilst others replace them with the Forge Carbon Fiber one (sorry not mastered how to add the URL link on here, advice welcome) about £110 inc vat.

Is there a great deal of weight difference between the OEM and Forge? I know CF is very light as have tripods made of it.

But is this a mod done for weight reduction or cosmetic appearance?  :huh:

Cosmetic Appearance. Weight saving would be removing the cover totally!
