If anyone has a pair of silver or red engine covers available for the CV8 5.7 then I’m happy to pay a good price.

not sure they came here just the turtle shell one and the 6.0 ltr one maybe some late cv8's had them but I know the GTO in the states had similar to those but I am sure somebody will correct me soon enough biggrin

Facelift CV8's come with the 'double' type covers, ALL other variants come with a single piece cover.

Correct, it was only the facelift 5.7s that had them

Thanks for the responses. I already have an original one piece but would prefer a pair of original laters covers rather than anything aftermarket.
TBO I was just putting the feelers out just in case someone had a spare pair and needed some extra dough for crimbo.

Will do, assuming I remember when I get home hehe

It'll look like this one, I think largely similar to UK ones, except it has the Holden logo like below instead of the Vauxhall one.

Have a red set of split covers (similar to VXKev's above), but with CAPA (from CAPA Performance) for LS1 - they use the same brackets/fixings as the standard clamshell cover. Used it for a while on my old CV8, before changing to to the 6.0 VXR
