Thanks in advance :)

you have to do what you have to do.

use a rag and wrap the hose end. the pump end wont leak coz it is higer than the resivour.

Now you need the silver valve cover and the black coloured dipstick!

I just wonder would you have problem with the warranty if you change the cover?

Well, it's really for people who like driving with the bonnet open :p

I think that we all just like do stuff to our cars, whether it be external or internal, a mod like painting your valve cover is easy to do and passes some time as well. :thumbsup:

not really modding but rather "cleaning" it up and making it more pleasing to the eye....

and most pple wouyld be like "oh but ur not gonna be opening up ur bonnet anyway" which is true i guess, but i think pple just see it as one more part of a car that they can add their own personal touches to.
