Wanted: Carbon Fibre Spark Plug Cover

Antz · Aug 6th, 2013, 11:55

Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of those s****y Genuine Volvo carbon fibre spark plug covers?

Not interested in a overpriced Chinese aftermarket copy. Has to be genuine Volvo.

I imagine they are a long-ago discontinued part by Volvo and Im kicking myself for not grabbing one when Ive seen them for sale in the past.

Yep - discontinued by Volvo.

Is this because Steve has mentioned about seeing the one on my car at Wetherby???

I'll bear you in mind if I ever have to sell it.

Ive wanted one for a while but always hesitated when theyw ere for sale and now Im thinking one would finish off my 240's engine bay nicely.

Didnt know anyone on here had one to be honest. No ones mentioned them to me before.

Keep me in mind if you ever sell yours.

Cant be arsed to be honest. I don't want one of these cheapo Chinese copies and I bet they are still better than any attempt Id make.

Ill hold out for a Volvo one

Hello,
Available in the states but not sure if postage is possible and how expensive.
Part is about £120, old new stock.
Cheers
