Looks amazing, I wish mine was VO, I do not think it would look nearly as good in AW.

No I meant in general.. someone with an AW car posted that they dont think it will look as good in AW. I guess they havent seen your pics, I really dig the AW engine cover.

I really like the M and "the most powerful letter" quote in Metaks thread too.

I like the idea in theory but I was always afraid it wouldnt look good in execution. Ill wait for pics of it installed. Yes I have seen the IND one, Im barely at the fence on this not even on it yet.

Hey Jezz,

What was your total spend on this? £86 pound for the OEM cover from BMW and then how much did Lee charge you for the paint job?

I also have a VO 1M, and I'd also like to get the calipers done in VO/orange!
