Post by: Eurospec on August 21, 2007, 06:41:01 PM

What's the deal with these? Where can I buy one?

Here are some examples on Matt's old e30:

I think you can buy them from BMA or someplace like that.

I always thought people were using the spark plug cover from the middle of the valve cover for these haha...

I didnt know it was something you could buy.

Bavarian Autosport sells it for $35.00. Thats where I got mine. Its only worth about $10.00. I peeled mine off and put on a euro plate.

BMP Design is the only place I have ever seen these. It is significantly easier to just get 4 metal pnch fillers from the hardware store and then paint them black. Mine have been on for awhile with no flaking and they havent fallen out. Home depot seems to have the biggest selection.
