sarjo Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I want to buy a battery cover similar to this, although not sure if this one looks tacky. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supra-Chrome-Battery-Cover-Toyota-Twin-Turbo-3-0_W0QQitemZ8050949010QQcategoryZ43119QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I've got a vented bonnet and the angle that I park the car, sometimes (especially in all this recent bloody rain) means that the water is coming in through a few of the lower vents and dripping onto the battery!!! [i know change the angle I park the car - but then I get seagull shite all over it]! Has any bought anything similar which they can recommend or any traders on here selling them?

Paul Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 although not sure if this one looks tacky. Sorry mate but yeah, well tacky imo:) What about something more subtle like the plain carbon effect they do? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Sorry mate but yeah, well tacky imo:) What about something more subtle like the plain carbon effect they do? Paul Yeah I though it was a bit tacky. Really would like a complete battery cover, top and sides if you know what I mean. Might ask miami gt?

terribleturner Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have a polished Battery Cover from Paul at Miami and it looks great under there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have a battery cover like the one pictured on Terribleturners car above, it is slightly used and has one small scratch. £15 and it's yours.... I also have the chrome fuse box cover in very good condition £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Rendar Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 If Sarjo doesn't want it, I'll take the fuse box cover. Also, do you have a photo of your battery cover, so we can see how it looks with the scratch? And does it include the chrome-effect battery restraint as shown in James' picture?

THE DON Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 if sarjo don't take the battery cover gamer il have it off you please:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Let me give them a bit of a clean up and take a few pictures... Back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Darren, if Joe doesn't have the battery holder with the cover give Wayne a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Rendar Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Okay, thanks. My battery doesn't have a holder at all. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I thought it was tbh but not 100%. Does it still have a the tray to sit the battery on?? Should have a small hole in the back of it on the lip to support the side of the holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 OK guys, I've just claimed these from Gamer so hands off!! (If I havent already been gazumped!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Ok here are some pictures. I do not have the battery hold down arm. 2 pics w/o flash and 2 pics with. The battery cover has one scratch that you can see in the pictures and a few that you cannot but it still looks ok. Only reason I am selling is I have a real carbon fibre fuse cover coming and the battery I am going to use does not need to be hidden away in shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Rendar Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I think you're right James. I've just had a look at my engine photos before it went to MaxGT, and it had a battery holder. Now it doesn't?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Might be a good idea if I actually include the pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it doesn't?! I think they are pretty cheap from Mr Toyota but if you want a polished one maybe one of the traders who deals in polishing has one they don't need an exchange on?
