Is this Bling or Ming
Hi All
So I know you are all bored with BBS Split rim refurb - I am
I thought I'd have a play with a spare rocker cover (thanks Gareth GT Hatch) while I had all the polishing stuff out......
Question is
Is this Bling or Ming for a 1.4 8V rocker cover
Casting quality is pretty poor so it took a hell of a lot of time and effort with various grades of wet and dry before I even went near it with the polishing mops and compound. When it comes to taking photos I'm no David Bailey BTW and the photos were done under house lighting so it actually does look better than the pics but the poll results decide if I fit it or not.........
Anyone want it if I don't? See its only going to be fitted while I do the one thats already on the the car as it doesn't have both cutouts so should be easier to polish up (if I decide to do it ) so this one will be avaliable whatever.....

LOL - So did I - only so I didn't affect the outcome and i could view the poll resultschubbster wrote:i did put wotever floats your boat in your poll tho. not liking 16v bumpers is sacralige!
I did say on another post "if we all like the same thing life would be very boring" Perhaps I should have said I like the std bumper more than I like the 16V bumper - it a close run thing tho

I like it. I'm hoping to get mine done with maybe the exhaust heat shield. Just breaks the engines usual black/dull/rusty tones up.
