What is the best cover to use? And does anyone have pictures of what they have done?

Cheers

The bulkhead covers people sometimes use on M20s and M50/52s come from the E30 M40.

They are not expensive new, your probably looking at about £50 for the three pieces, most second hand plastic parts are 20+ years old and well past their best :)

Part 1 is £15.58
Part 3 is £14.75
And the battery tray cover is £14.13

Think he said there were only 2 left of part 1 in the UK. I have ordered one so you might want to get a move on.

Thats pretty decent, might have to stick it on me list. Not in any rush with it and long as it doesn't triple in price.
