have you not got the black plastic rail at the moment? what is your car?

worst case scenario is using some clips that hold leads together next to each other. I have seen people with their own chrome looking rails but in my opinion they don't look right.

You can get an aluminium cover from ebay, but it only covers 4 plugs!
