I hunted the web for a decent engine cover and eventually gave up and modified the STD engine cover to accept the new intake.
I saw a few posts on here regarding modifying the std cover but after seeing pics of illektronik's bay i decided it was the best way to go, like illektronik i cut out the air box section but i spent a bit of time plastic welding a section on the side to finish it off rather than leaving it exposed. I also spent a bit time trying to securing it better but in the end went with some good old velcro  :grin:

Not sure if i like the engine cover in green to be honest but it will have to do for now, also colour coded the slam panel and expansion bottle (as my other one isnt finished)

Ah, so you're THAT Chris! I had no idea when you emailed me mate. Love the work on the plastic welding. Super clean. Looks mint.  :happy2: Like the attention to detail. Appears as though the torx screws have even had a job done on them.

One hell of a build, and it's good to see you got it back and are pushing further ahead.  :congrats:

Do you have plans for the Battery and Fuse box covers?
