My Edition 30
GTIjames:
thanks for all the advice, if i knew that bit fitted a few weeks ago when i first had the bits put on, then i might not have been so disappointed with the evoms cover on its own. and would have also clipped on last weekend when I was at me ma's.
anyhow shows the benefits of thes forums :grouphug:
overall though really happy with how car is running now.
vf engine mounts - one of my favourite mod's, quite alot of vibrations and extra cabin noise first few hundres miles but now really settled in and hardly noticeable, once used to them, but everything seems improved - feel of car, accelerating, breaking, cornering and gear changes, i also dont get wheel hop anymore when the car judders when flooring it i just get wheel spin now :evilgrin:
coilovers - really loosened up lately and grip is very good, and gives you alot more confidence in the corners. though quite a low ride and speed humps in london are sometimes an issue - may raise it a bit soon :sad:
blufin stage 2 map is running very well, im not one to use the accelerating pedal conservatively or progressively , am 25 with 324bhp going through the front wheels of my gti.. whats a boy to do. but no engine light problems for me and is running better than ever with this cold weather especially when you get a nice dry road.

The Evoms engine cover was designed to use the silver centre section of the original oem cover,
which is why I asked if you were going to fit it, as it makes the cover look a hundred times better.

....You beat me to it, Matt!
Regal :fighting: really should have told you that, James - They're meant to be the UK representatives of EVOMS.
Apart from aesthetically tidying up the messy appearance of the 2.0T FSI engine, a cover will give a wee bit more protection from the elements - Just look how splashed etc an oem cover can get.
Personally, I like the EVOMS cover a lot and think it looks very purposeful.
It looks even better with a carbon centre strip :evilgrin:
Great feedback and info on the engine mounts, James :happy2:
It's my next mod, but VWR's 'Fast Road' version (as opposed to their hardcore race version).
Cheers! :smiley:

Came across another pic for you, James : -

thanks for the pics robin, I was at me ma's last weekend and tried to fit the silver cover to the evoms, though was not so easy,oem silver cover has clips all the way up, 4 of them so you have to cut these off, now the question is what glue is best to use which won't fail with the engine heat?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Those very strong sticky pads? My number plate is stuck on with them [Wolverhampton-proof, I hope!]
I got mine from Ant Graphics in Bedford via TTshop. But will they stick to metal?
