I with the others and say since you already have them install them. Worst case is you put the stock ones back on.

Well my Eaton is about to come off. I'm gonna pop off the passenger valve cover and try a blue one on. I think its gonna look pretty good. Will report back.

BUT SINCE YOU DO.... You should definitely put them on and then post a detailed, picture laden thread and video with cussing, smashed beer bottles and thrown tools as you remove the Hydro-Boost to gain access to the driver side valve cover.:-D

Oh come on, it's not THAT bad....I only busted my knuckle up a few times.

+2. Looks bad ass on DSG, silver, and black.

Yes all the way. The wrinkle blue really looks good and brings the motor out.

I'm not a fan, but it would look better than stock. I'm going with black on mine.

Where do you get the blue valve covers from? If you had them powder coated, can you specify the exact name of the color (or a code number?).

Thanks

"Do it!" vote here! Not the best pics but you get the idea!

Not a fan of the blue valve covers......to me they just don't go with any color scheme in the engine bay with stock or aftermarket products. Color match or do black VC's.

Here's what I posted on another thread.

"And if you wanted the GT500 color covers (wrinkle blue) I finally found a source for the powder, and they are incredibly cheap.

Aegean Blue Wrinkle 1 Lb - Wrinkle/Texture/Vein | Rosey's Powder Coating

Probably be $18.00 to cover two valve covers. For the powder."

i think it will look good because of the color of your car.

I think so as well. I can pretend I have an Aluminator :lol1:

I've been trying to decide how the wrinkle blue would look with MG, or if I should just leave them stock.
