MGW Engine Dress-up?

MGW doesn't have the entire set of caps do they? Sorry if its a stupid question and yes I've been to the site. just wondering if there were plans on producing the rest to have a complete dress-up kit from MGW.

Or does anyone know of another brand of engine mods which match the MGW(Chrome) style and qaulity wise?

Scott Drake sells a complete cap kit, including the oil dipstick, but I think they only sell it in satin Aluminum. Quality is there though, as they look awesome!

I agree Scott Drake kit is very nice. All the caps fit well. http://www.partscheap.com/scottdrake05.htm

Just curious... anyone been using the Scott Drake brake fluid reservoir cap? Wondering if it behaves (i.e., leaks) like the OEM stock cap?

I have the brake fluid cap. It has been on for a few weeks with no leaks. That said I was not having any leakage with the stock cap either.

Same here. I just put all the Scott Drake caps on including the brake fluid reservoir one. No leaks, but I had no leak beforehand. I second the opinion that they are good quality and good looking items.

I'll add this though, the Scott Drake brake fluid reservoir cap does feel like it snugs down tighter than the stock one. But, I don't know if that is going to stop the leak, if you have one.

+1 on that. I'd love to see how it looks before I spend $200+ on the kit.

Thank you. $200 seems like a lot of money for some caps though...
