Swazy 0 1 Cars Posted July 31, 2009 Does anybody know if there´s exist other rocker covers as the oe item. in germany you can get custom ones made from alu to replace the odd ones, but i can´t find any for peugeot Maybe in the uk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted August 1, 2009 the original one is alloy is it not anyway? Ecosse powder coat some of there T16 ones, maybe worth doing that to yours but i've never come across 'off the shelf' custom ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted August 2, 2009 I thought it was magnesium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swazy 0 1 Cars Posted August 3, 2009 I thought it was magnesium. Yes it is made of magnesium. But the question is to replace the oe item with a custom one made of billet aluminium. I have to check that here with my local engine builder, he can do a CNC-machined maybe. I do post some pics if we can realise that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdCherry 34 1 Cars Posted August 7, 2009 I may be missing the point, but why? With you there, why? Making it out of billet would be expensive as there is alot of waste material and alot of time going into removing that waste material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daviewonder 533 3 Cars Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Why do you want to replace the original one? imho the standard one looks pretty good and being magnesium its lighter than an aluminium one would be. Edited August 7, 2009 by Daviewonder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swazy 0 1 Cars Posted August 14, 2009 Why do you want to replace the original one? imho the standard one looks pretty good and being magnesium its lighter than an aluminium one would be. the standard mi one is not my thing, the one from xu10j4 looks better IMO. Is the xu10 one also made off magnesium or is it aluminium? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted August 14, 2009 the XU10J4 one looks pretty much the same bar the extra bit that covers the coil packs. unless you mean the J4R or RS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
