VR6Nat 9 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Im trying to get hold of the plastic cover that sits on top of the manifold. Mine says VR6 - 2.8 but i can only find ones that say VR6 - DOHC on them, Anyone know of where i can get one, or anyone have one i can buy???Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 they're not as common as the DOHC ones but they do come up on ebay and classifieds... just dont get ripped off by people selling them as rare japanese import for £40 or something as its bollards!

binliner 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 yeah any VR6 one will fit... you could always repair and paint it? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 yeah, i was thinking of that, but im not sure it would go back together ok?? its in 3 bits, some bell end tryed to pull it off i reckon without taking the bolts off. Its been like it since ive had it. i wanted to get mine chrome plated but cant find anywhere that can do it..... oooh you're in colchester... im halstead! small world!

binliner 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Im at work about 10 minurtes from Halstead at the moment! I work just off the road to SudburyChrome plating plastic is possible but very expensive on a single item. If its in 3 parts its pretty buggered by the sounds of it! I repaired & smoothed mine (changed it a bit now though)... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ah man yours looks mint! How did you get it like that? I think i could possibly get mine back together, with some serious effort.... Link to post Share on other sites
