My '97 900 has the dark grey valve covers too and I remember spraying them a few years ago with a Ford colour rattle can from Halfords- I even think it was called something like Ford Anthracite Grey Metallic(?).

I'd forgotten that! Was at Alton wasn't it? About 11 years ago!

I'm also going to need new inner rubber and outer plastic belt covers if anyone has any as mine have cracked.

My covers were dark grey but I used a dark grey Smoothrite rather than colour match.

While you've got it in bits, have a look on some of the plastics or footrest hangers for the manufacture date code. Mine is 4/93 in most places so a def early build! Chassis numbers were very random.....
