Rear Diff Covers

Hi,
There is a WR1 which I see locally, and he has a really shiney rear diff cover. Where are these from? As they look quite sexy!

Cheers

You can get quite good results just by using some degreaser initially getting of all the greasy oily dirt.Then with plenty of water, use wet n dry 400 grit and then move onto 800 or 1200. I then used polishing compound and after 15 mins of work the results are quite impressive.

Heres a pic....

Its a bit awkward to get at and you will find that your arm will drop off after 5 minutes of buffing.

That's the chap, I got mine from him but I recall he was laid off so I don't know if he has access to machinery anymore. He did advertise them on here as well.

I need to get the right diff bracket as the one I have is for an STI and I have a WRX. I've knocked up something to keep me going for now
