Premium protection, genuine chrome plating, and distinctive styling for your flat-twin

Upgrade your BMW R18 with these premium CNC-machined 6061 aluminum cylinder head covers, designed to complement the iconic lines of BMW's Big Boxer engine.

Genuine Chrome Plating – Not Just Polished Aluminum

The chrome version undergoes a metal electroplating process, in which a genuine chrome coating is deposited onto the prepared aluminum surface.

Unlike simple mechanical polishing, this process creates a distinct metallic surface layer, providing:

• ✔ Brilliant, mirror-like chrome appearance
• ✔ Authentic metallic chrome finish
• ✔ Enhanced surface durability
• ✔ Additional resistance to everyday wear and oxidation
• ✔ Premium styling that complements the BMW R18's original chrome components

The result is a genuine chrome-plated component, rather than aluminum that has simply been polished to resemble chrome.

Advantages over stock:

• ✔ Choice of black anodized or genuine chrome-plated finish
• ✔ High-precision CNC machining
• ✔ Additional protection against everyday scratches and minor scuffs
• ✔ Direct-fit installation without engine modification
• ✔ Distinctive styling for custom and premium BMW R18 builds
