    The idea of 1 blacked out cover mate ? or just that its carbon ? I was going to paint the underside black so that it still had the plastic shiny finish on the outside . May still give it a go if the carbon is agreed not to look right

    It looks like a fly wearing a monocle.

    I don't dislike it though.

    Possibly because it also looks like half a fit arse in fishnets.

    Not sure I tend to agree with Ben on the cover idea, much easier to remove and put back on
