While I continue on with my winter mods, I want to paint the front fender monting legs and radiator top cover.
Has anyone removed the top cover?.
I cant see how its all mounted and dont want to break anything. I just dont like the silver on those parts in the pic below, thinking black would flow better.

Check Resources above for the service manual. It'll walk you through it. I removed it during the 20 K service, but it's all a blur at the moment...

I have used RIT dye on various plastic parts with great success. Especially black.
