ED35/Golf R/ Roc R engine cover
« on: 27 August 2012, 06:45 »
Customised Audi TTS engine cover with Audi R8 oil and water bottle cap. Thinking of plastidipping the windscreen water bottle cap. Thoughts?

Very nice mate and I would definitely do the washer bottle cap. Just one comment though, I'm pretty sure that unless you change the intake this engine cover won't fit a 35 as the stock one is attached to the original cover? I'm happy to be proven wrong. The MAF sensor is also attached to the engine cover.

I have an ITG intake. If you change the intake the stock cover will not work.

Yeah, tell me about it. You can however change the front section for a more cosmetic look I.e. carbonio carbon fibre intake.

I'm liking the Audi cover! Did it have the Audi rings on before? I'm a big fan of the R8 caps as well but it's a shame there isn't a matching washer cap, i've actually been looking at the Forge ones like Ginge but the black ones cos you can get caps for everything.

Looks good but there's to much black going on in that bay for my liking, needs something to break it up tbh...

Daft question, do the engine covers just pull off?
