Not as tricky as I thought, but well pleased with the look of it :cool: Although not sure I can feel/hear any difference at the moment? :huh:
Has anyone else noticed much of a difference after fitting?

Also thought I'd clean the car while it was dry :cool: then it rained :angry:

I'd now like to get the centre section of the engine cover in CF. Am I right in saying I may have seen it on RedRobins car??

looking good mate, nice job, was it easy to fit ?, and where did you get it ?

Performance gains are only slight and best on a remapped car.

^^where do you buy those ?

I was expecting trouble after I read a few guys had to change screw length's etc, but it went straight on! :smiley:
The engine cover was even helpful too! :laugh: The hardest thing was upgrading the orange side light bulbs! That was until I sussed they pulled out not screwed :grin: Why do VW have to make the plastic edges in the engine bay so damn sharp!!
I got it from Fleabay America. Came with a K&N Filter, and all for £120 :laugh:

Come on RR, tell all......... :huh:

How I can satisfy my new found lust for Carbon Fiber :laugh:
I've seen a few of the sites with CF stuff for the MK5, but not that particular piece of cf smut :grin:
-
Greenhouse,
the carbon stuff is OSIR, you can get it from the TT shop, both links shown below.
On one of my old posts ive uploaded the price list for OSIR as bought through the TT shop, they are the sole uk distributers of this stuff, think you may be able to search posts by me and get the list.

I made the badge from a 25th Anniversary badge I bought from the states. I heated the badge to carefully remove the lettering, then applied it to the original :cool: Gotta say I was well chuffed with the result!
This is the rear also

I did notice a slightly louder induction noise, but not overtly so. Performance-wise I noticed naff all as I had a remap done at the same time :grin:
I agree with what you say though CF rocks!

Very true Shaun! I did get stung with bill from DHL! :embarrassed: It's the first time I've had to pay so shouldn't complain. Still cheaper than Carbonio :smiley:
K4ith, yes I've left the protective cover on the VW badge until I decide what to do with the engine cover. May have this done as CF although stunning to look at, is a bit expensive! :cry:
