Engine Covers

I know that this isnt gonna suit everyone but here goes:-







The plan is to fit a Carbonio Air Intake and then perhaps a Forge Carbon Cover. The VW badge will be in black gloss and the TSI in bright red. I thought the cables going into the fuse panel looked pretty cool.

Looks like some vandal has wrapped some of your engine bay in tin foil......

The forge stuff does seem to be a marmite topic!

Now you need to maybe gloss black the dull black bits it wud set the white off nicely...I did it on my last motor which had a red/ gloss blk theme going on...

Yeah, really wanted to do that but due to the engine cover being £200 plus for a replacement I couldn't really stretch to it. We'll see in the future. I reckon once I've treated the bay with some engine dressing it should come up a treat.

If you did everything all at once then it wudnt be so much fun...so it's probably a good thing that you weren't able to do it as now it something to look forward to when funds allow.
