Thanks Man and yes that speckled look on the Mark III is the fibres that are in the cowl.Not sure if it quite looked like that from new.However I'm sure over the years it has come out a lot more.The Mark III originally came out with two types of Cowls.One was the same as the Mark II and this one.This is the original cowl from this mower so I thought it only seems right to put it back on.That's one of the reasons why I didn't paint the cowls as I would have lost this original fibre look.

Here for a good time,not a long time.
