What's the best/smartest looking cover for the coil spring seat on my front suspension to keep mr.sva happy...? Also will i have to cover the threads as well?

many thanks

Remote control car tyres seem to be the popular solution.

iirc i wrapped a few turns of old seat belt material around mine and secured with cable tie. Probs a bit too makeshift these days.

Surely it's part of the suspension therefore exempt???
