Without buying from the USA I don't think you will get them off the shelf these days. Mind you with the exchange rate being so good the US is an option worth considering.
Have a look below just a few sites that sell the bits to make your own or places that will make them for you but they will not be cheap.

thanks for the help so far :D , i'll have a look round the links later tonight!

the covers on ebay, i just think the holes are too big and although they'd look good it would bug me, also i dont think they are long enough, but interesting that i spent a couple of hours going through ebay and missed them :? :lol:

i dont mind spending a few quid if i get exactly what i want ive spent enough on the van and its not go many mods on the outside - as said its a good exchange rate at the moment and buying from the states would be an option - out of interest if i was to get some imported would anyone else be interested :?:

ideally tho i'd like to get some made here in the UK :D

I don't think any amount of heat shield will sort that lot out.

True, its untidy, the shields cover all the exhaust, I'll have to get a pic of them when I've fitted them.
