Your car was making me contemplate 19's but, gonna resist and stick with 18's! Glad your happy with it all! Chris is quote happy with himself considering it took him 4 hours to drop the box and the rest, get the cluth in, box it all back up and do the coilies with the alignment!

It's all coming together nicely, like the mods you haft fitted (reminds me of my own  :laugh: ) How wide are the CH's??  :drinking:
Thanks Jake :drinking: You are one of those who is a bad influence :evilgrin:
The wheels are 8x19 with an ET50 - I've got 235/35/19 Vredsteins on there.

After being inspired by pics from flyboy and Big Al, I bought an old engine cover and modded it to fit with my twintake.
I decided to try and stick to an OEM look so kept it simple with black and silver - hope you like  :happy2:

looking very good mate,

is this held on with just the front two mounts??

if so have you done anything to the rear to keep it in place?

Cheers :drinking:
Yes, just the front 2 mounts hold it in place - nothing required at the back as it's secure and doesn't wobble or move.

I used a combination of a circular saw for the main straight cuts and a jigsaw for the smaller cuts.
Then just cleaned up the edges with a file and some sandpaper, degreased all the bits and sprayed the cover satin black and the silver strip a colour called aluminium (it's a matt finish).
I seperated the VW badge from the centre strip by gently heating with a heat gun so the double-sided tape softened enough for me to prise it off.

They are Golf R/Audi S3 brakes all round. 345mm disks up front and 310mm rears. Brilliant upgrade for fast road use and very cost effective  :happy2:

Thanks guys :happy2:
@Jake: this must be one of the ONLY mods you don't have?!
@flyboy: I still prefer your engine bay - how much does the carbon dipping cost?

Didn't like the bright silver finish on the wheels so had them acid-dipped and redone the same shade as the Audi R8 V10 wheels :smiley:
