I also need to make some spacers for the top hat cover easy job just going to get some threaded bar instead of the bolts

Tomorrows job mate but I need to space it out as this is exactly the same size as the original and on the originalthe bolt holes are resest for clearance and they are not on the carbon 1 so at the min it sits too low

Mate...

I think that You should fit just the spark plug cover, and return the other cover with 'Turbo' back on...

I also think that a 'Black Oil Cap' would look much better, than your current one...
