Oily side panels a solution?

[10 inch Terror]

Hi all,
I thought I'd share my way of stopping oil from the end can joint from covering my side panels.
I bought some textured 35mm heat shrink and cut it to suit. Once shrunk down it gives a nice tight seal and prevents oil from escaping. The stuff I've used is heat resistant so should last ok. So far so good and my panels have stayed clean. It's probably been done before but I thought I'd share anyway.

Sounds like an oxymoron if ever I heard one.
