Gift For My Friend's Birthday...BMW Content

I have a good friend who is a BMW nut, so for his up coming birthday..I made something he would appreciate for his 635CSI, better than buying him a sweater or a tie!!!

Took the stock valve cover, machined it, sanded it, prepped it, polished it, polished it and then polished it again. After that I painted the center and the Rondel the closest shade of BMW blue I could find and then aluminum brushed the highlights. Quite alot of work I have to say, but came out pretty good! I took these pictures tonight and the poor lighting in my garage does not quite compliment the reflective finished surface.

Here is the stock valve cover by comparisson:









What do you guys think?
