I don't know about later cars but on the 100 it was simply the original, 
chrome plated. I had an original on my BN1 but have recently had to have 
it re-chomed because it was peeling. The special hollow fixing nut heads 
are also chromed.

To the best of my knowledge the cast ribbed cover that many fit to their 
cars was not supplied by the Donald Healey Motor Company.
