Fuse box cover

Hi guys, I'm after one of those aluminium covers for the left side fuse box. Are these things rare as fook?

I think forge motorsport did some

Cheers Mike, I'll check them out, see if I can get hold of one

they might be a rare item now, i know my mate in poland imported a gtir from the uk and it was packed with forge goodies such as fusebox cover, power steering reservoir and the rad bottle all genuine forge. Some quality items but ive never seen these on another gtir

Yeah I can't find any, checked their website and not listed or anything. I know it's only a show item but I really one

Nah the fuse box cover was made separately in a group buy on one of the previous Gtir sites around 10 years ago.
My old car had all the chrome bits.

Thanks andy, damn so I haven't got much luck in getting one then. Might so relocate the thing

il have a look on cars were getting in woody, if I find one on any of them il let you have it for a small fee
im sure I see one here somewhere when we moved workshops so il have a good look when I get time fella

Thanks a lot bob that would be awesome

You talking about the main fuse box cover woody?
The one above in left hand of pic if so then I have one on one of the cars

Yup that's the one bob, great news! I'll swing you a PM shortly

The one with HKS, Fast car, and Jtuner written on it.

Cheers bob! Cover is in almost perfect condition! 

Looks smart mate .... be able to check your hair or how much grease you got on your face while working in the engine bay now

Think of the weight you just added need more bhp now lol

I was told it was adding more bhp because it's shiny, is this not true? 

Technicly i would assume its more shineyness would help the air flow over the top of it if you drive down the road with the bonnet off so its defo gave it less drag over that particular part wich can only add up on the bhp .... bring on the shiney parts

If anyone else has one of them for sale I'll buy it

Will that same theory work if I cover my entire car in chrome vinyl wrap? Im hopeful it's then fast enough that I'll be able to launch into the earths stratosphere

To boost that fast i would imagine you would need to wrap it aswell as add extra stickers

I can confirm that, definite extra 5bhp after I put my one on

Excellent news, now all I need to know is what performance gains I'll get by installing a monster tacho on the bonnet

Like this you mean

Hahaha perfect, I'll get a couple then
