Tunnel screw covers

[Getsis]

Anyone know of where you can gets some black screw covers for the screws shown below. Always thought this was a let down in the cabin, could look better if hidden.

Are there actual covers or is it just the screw with the countersunk type washer?

I'm sure they can be bought in black but not sure there's any covers for them, I'll be fitting black ones or removing and spraying them Matt black with some good old hammerite.

ETA

A quick eBay search of 'countersunk washer' reveals there are anodised black aluminium washers, well a variety of colours, and also black screws of phillips and Allen bolt type. So with the right size you should get something less obvious than the silver, I'll be doing it next week so will post pictures.

Not all cars have the screws. Mine is just held in place by a pin at the front and a clip type thing at the back. It looks cleaner without them I think and if they aren't needed it give you scope to just plug the hole with an appropriate coloured grommet.

The covers I'm thinking of are the ones like you see on number plates but black anodised not plasstic, I have seen large version but not small type. They hide the head of the screw with a pop on cap.

I did some based on the same principal as my hatch bolt covers (metal not plastic) but in a brushed chrome finish to match the interior. I could do these in anodised matt black the same as the hatch cover caps.

I did the two on the tunnel cover and the three on each seat belt side cover (one at bottom near seat, one at top and one near roll bar) so 8 in total.

Apologies for the picture quality but the car is in the garage. Will take some more when I get it out.






Cheers. Lee.

That's the thing I was thinking of if you could do me a full set in matt black I would be delighted. Name your price!

I can see a group buy happening for this if youve got the time

Thanks for your comments guys.

As for making these having the spare time is always an issue at the minute. Due to redundancy and family, earlier in the year I sadly had to stop making everything I do in my spare time for a while to focus on other things.

I am now able to free up some time and have been doing the the odd washer bottle and bolt kits etc.

Will see how long these would take and cost them up. If they are feasible to do will put an add in the classified along with my other stuff so should be easy to find.

Cheers. Lee.

I didn't like the screw look. So removed the washer and replaced with number plate plastic screw covers look great I'll post up a pic if I can with my I phone!!

I'd be up for these covers Lee. The exposed crossheads screws have always annoyed me!
