Threw mine the other day  :sad:
Have you looked at doing the SAI removal? if you are looking for a way of blocking off for an induction kit / air filter different than genuine you just need the SAI blanking plate from Forge, and some resistors  :wink:
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

It grieves me to pay £28 for an oval piece of metal. More effort would have gone into CAD'ing the Forge engraving than the actual product.
