Grammar.
This would seem to be the answer Luke, it is not expensive either:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361700171792 I’m thinking the cam cover would look pretty smart in the black colour, and maybe the exhaust manifold in the white. Lacquer over both (and to protect the lettering). I’m wondering whether I could just key the blue paint, just take the paint off the lettering? Both are quite easy to remove without disturbing many other components, so it would probably only be a day’s work once we get some nice weather. Alan

I've got a rocker cover here that has been in a fire so the paint is cooked on it. You are more than welcome to the cover for free if you want to smarten it up rather than having the RB off the road for a couple of days. |

You could use a VHT primer then normal paint, if you do it that way it gives another option on the letters. You could put 2 or 3 coats of silver on the letters before doing a couple of top coats of black. Leave it a few days to harden off then again either sand or use cutting compound to reveal the silver then lacquer the whole thing. This kind of answers Alans queries too.

That is interesting and must be a relief to you. And thank you re my mother's brother, although my name is not Balfour! .... although that attribution re Salisbury is apparently doubtful. And a comrade might not be a likely nephew. I digress and I will go back to bed. . . |

Too much like common sense Alan, something the "Divvy-Laa-Laa" aren't noted for having! I think they now rely on fora such as this and similar to do their publicising for them, you've amply demostrated how it happens ^^^^^

Not to worry, such is the nature of the DVLA :-)

I'd already ascertained it was the right product for the car, it was a detail about fitting i needed clarifying! I then asked them to confirm how the product fits pointing out i already knew it was the correct fitment for mine and got a much better reply explaining exactly how the product is fitted and that my concern was largely irrelevant because the fitting didn't go near the part i thought it did. In fact the reply explained the fitting better than the instructions on the listing. Problem solved, i sent a thank you message and ordered the item. The first response i got though seems to be an all-purpose response by people who don't understand simple questions and aren't prepared to try and understand the question, just mark it down as a "Cleared query" on their log-sheets.
