Default Cooling plates and other engine blingy bits

I notice on the US forums a lot of people have cooling plates that match other heat shields in the engine bay.
Mainly some sheet that covers where the pulleys are, and some that covers where the brake fluid resevoir is.

Does anyone know a UK based company that would be able to supply a matching set perhaps? I understand that aside from the cooling plate its really just a bit of engine bling.

there are lots of engineering companies that would be capable of making sets of them its just the case of getting a design sorted and probably pricing them up in batches of ten to bring down production costs

I am just in the process of getting 10 cooling plates sent over from the States.they would be around $110 shipped+duty and tax. With buying 10 I can sell them for £75 posted. There are a few other things the company can provide,but the shipping kills buying single items.
If I can get enough interest I would be prepared to fetch parts in,in batches of 10.

They do cooling plates,front cross brace covers,plug covers in various finishes,sump baffles,fuse box covers( iv asked him to send me a cardboard template,to see if it will fit our cars) Rear diffusers,and full undertray and diffusers.

I am not sure about my position on the forum with regards to doing this, as I am not a trader. It's just a case if saving myself and others money.
No money will change hands untill I am ready to post out the items.

If you check out alloykraft,there is a list of the parts they offer.

Sounds fair to me! Saving money for you and others not profit making - who can grumble at that?

They do some really nice bits!

MrP I would be interested in a polished one if you do go ahead with the purchase.
