***************************************
I'll kill two birds with one stone here.  The MK1 GT6's (among probably
others) came STANDARD with chrome valve covers (was supposed to add a
little class to the upscale coupe), and the valve covers for the MK4 Spits
were the *warm* silver color.  The thermostat housing should be a dark grey
almost black/green color (at least my original was.  Possibly anodized?).
