Thanks guys.

Yeah let us know russ. Its one of those things im a little baffled as to how Im going to solve. Might even just run it with a plastic bag with an elastic band holding it on daily to stop any way getting in there....

On the fresh air thing. Can't you just make a cover that stops the rain but is raised up so air can get under it?

Itl be the last time this year once its all complete. Already got plans fr next year, and then the year after that! Haha

Good idea in theOry mate and exactly what I'd be after. Trouble is, making something like that, that looks like it should be in the bay from factory and actualy functions. Seriously just considering leaving a bag in the glove box with an elastic band. If I get caught in the rain, pop It over :)

Like an ecu cover. Leave the wing side open to get air in. Spray the same colour as bay. It'll just look like the raised up stock item.

Sorry but if you want oem look then they look awfull.. Make a stainless raised cover and paint satin black will look much better and only needs to be raised 5-10 to let enough air through..
