billet diff rear covers

Ive seen these somewhere, thought it was ebay, but cant find them now

my diff is clearly on show and as part of next winters complete rebuild, Im wanting to tart the whole thing up a bit

is there anyone on here that might know of any places that sell them?

otherwise Im toying with having a measure up and making a windowed cover, with the window colour coded to suit the paint job, maybe engraved with a logo or pattern

its cast and so its a bit of a lottery

I wanted a billet one as then it could be anodised, I know of a company that do the most amazing anodising, full colour images etc

failing that I will use the existing one as a template and look at making a windowed one.

but really liked the ones I saw, they were billet and vertically finned, reminded me of the jag ones.

just annoyed I cant find them again

It's Mark at MK Engineering who produces these (Front & Rear)
http://www.mkmotorsport.co.uk/

Drop him a line.

One thing to be aware of is don't buy into all the BS on the web about because it's billet it stronger/better etc as thats all cr@p. It's the key word "Forged" thats important and not Billet. Billet doesn't mean sh1t in terms of stength etc.
