Where would be the best place to get the Holden VZ 5.7 split engine covers from??

Would I be best off going to Holden, or would Holmart be a better option. I looked at their website, but I couldn't find them........

Just looking for your thoughts!!

no real price difference I found. I rang up Citys which are down the street and they had them same afternoon. Around the $120 - $130 mark from memory

Holmart, Holden or JHP. They'll probably all be close in price.

Thanks guys....

I've always wanted the GTS style ones from the VT/VX, but can't find any decent aftermarket ones and am not paying $800 for the original items!!!

I'll approach Holden when I get home next week!

I won these the other day

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320205826583&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=011

The guy seems to put them up every few months so maybe send him a message on Ebay and ask him if he has any others.

~$200 all up with postage. Just had to drill the holes out a little to mount the covers on the fuel rail. $16 for a coat of red paint and all done :)

I also seen another seller with them the other day. I will have a search when I have time to see if I can find him again

EDIT: not the seller I was looking for but still

Hope that helps

I bought VZ engine covers (the plastic kind) from Holden spare parts and they only cost me like $80.. That was back when the VZ first came out so they were hard to find unless you ordered them from the dealer.

I've taken my engine cover off... It's just sitting in my garage :D lol

Will go one when I decide to sell it or for HSV Club show and shine days...
