They would have all been fine but i put the rocker cover on while it was still a bit wet and the paint cracked. battery and fuse cover are both fine though

no mines 16v. its the 2nd time i did rocker cover, was fine first time because i let it dry. was impatient this time as FCS was coming up so it was still a little wet when i put it on
