very ncie mate
i like that alot
-
love it mate, like the wheels and the engine cover looks good too!
-
Looks awesome mate! :congrats:
Whats the story with the cover then? What have you had done to it?
-
Love it :drool:
-
r8 oil filler cap on the coolant res too! lol
-

....R8 cap on the coolant res is overkill imo. There's a JAP one on the screenwasher res and JAP also do a cap for the coolant.
I like the EVOMS cover and have one on order but unfortunately have to go via Regal. How did you attach the centre strip please?

Okay guys what can i say, i'm a sucker for R8 engine accessories!! :ashamed: The cap on the coolant res IS an actual coolant cap and Does differ from the oil cap.
Robin, i simply canibalised the OEM plastic cover, removed the centre part and siliconed it onto my painted gloss black EVOMS cover. A wire brush and a wee bitta laquer brought up the "EVOMS" lettering. Job done!!
:happy2:

i like it mackie, never seen it before! robin is an overkill monger as well! ;)

Very nice :happy2: I like everything other than the front valance, ruins the car imo :scared:
-
Lol :grin: I think i remember reading somewhere that RedRobin didnt like EVOMS engine covers... :wink: :wink:

:happy2:
....I think adding the centre strip really makes the EVOMS engine cover and will be attaching my overkill-mongering carbon centre strip together with its OTT blue enamelled VW badge! :P @ Jay.
In my ignorance I have to ask you what is "siliconed" fixing?
Btw, the black Monza's are a winner on Steel Grey :notworthy:
-
Lol :grin: I think i remember reading somewhere that RedRobin didnt like EVOMS engine covers... :wink: :wink:
....Bloody paparazzi and journo's! They're always misquoting me. I like the EVOMS engine cover and always have. Hedge doesn't like them though IIRC.
-
Lol :grin: Maybe it was my mistake about that :notworthy: Cheers Robin when i saw that the Detroits could be bought from VW as an "Extra" i simply had to have 'em. :laugh:
To attach grey centre strip simply put 4 (or more) spots of silicone onto the underside of the strip and stick it to EVOMS cover. I left the two little hooks on the front of the centre piece to hook it onto the EVOMS cover, slide back and stick. I've had it on my car since June and have had no problems whatsover. The beauty about it is that if i ever do wanna put the engine back to OEM then it wont be TOO difficult to separate the grey centre piece and stick it back onto the OEM cover. :drinking:
Hope this helps. :happy2:

^^^^
Thanks Mackie, it does help :drinking:
Just one more dumb question: What do I ask for? Silicone glue? Any recommended brand?
-
looks mint..i was thinkin of havin the vw racing front splitter and painting it ..very cool
-
Just silicone sealer - Like the stuff thats round your bath and sink, I use it to put number plates on aswell it peels off easy but doesnt unattach easy :ashamed:...........................if you know what i mean
Nice Mackie i like the lot :happy2:, Has it been mapped or anything else ?
-
Love everything about the car matey, stunning :drool: :drool: :drool:

Cheers for the comments boys. Silicone is the way forward!! :signLOL:
Yes i have a standard Oettinger map on it, along with the usual Milltek zorst upgrade, etc. I've listed most of my mods on members intro page ("hello folks" thread), but still have a few up my sleeve. You boys just keep planting ideas in my head :laugh:

True VeryCherry...sure we could all be up to worse!! (Thats what i tell the missus anyway :laugh:)
Thanks for the feedback. I thought long and hard before putting the Reiger front lip on but i'm glad i did as i think it makes the car that little bit more aggressive looking. :evilgrin:
-
Car looks fantastic Mackie :happy2:
I love the R8 accessories too, got the oil cap and coolant cap on my golf. Like what you've done with the engine cover, had a good look at it at Edition and think it looks well smart.

Cool! :congrats:

Looks very nice mate!! Cracking colour!!!!!!

car is looking really nice :happy2:
looking forward to seeing the oettinger goodies on :popcornsoda:
-
Looks awesome. However IMO the centre strip looks out of kilter with the rest of the engine bay. Maybe paint it gloss silver?

Cheers for the feedback guys. I just wanted a different kind of look and am a sucker for the Oettinger gear! :ashamed:
-
Pure evil that :evilgrin:
-
Looks good mate, very mean looking with the grey and black colouring. :happy2:
-
That looks very purposeful! Very 'I-suck-in-lots-of-air-and-go-like-the-wind!' It particularly suits the grey. :congrats: :congrats:
I don't like the car bra though, but that's just me, I don't like them on any GTI. Imo it looks OTT in combination with your oettinger front.
-
Very very nice !!!
I had the Oettinger kit...
I do think you need the side skirts & 19" wheels to make it look complete imho :happy2:

Rich, Yours looks stunning in red pal :drool: I'd thought about the skirts but wasnt convinced that i really needed them as i dont think the car looks front-heavy without them. I dont know, i may end up changing my mind...!! :ashamed: I'm loving the 19s but unfortunately my budget DEFINITELY wont stretch to those...unless of course you have a set going cheap... :wink:
Cheers for the feedback pal :happy2:

Subtle mod to my engine cover...I just wanted to highlight the embossed writing and am pleased with the way it turned out...

Winter Spec'd the car recently too: Huffs swapped for newly acquired Shadows; carbon items stripped off and Oettinger mask swapped back to original...
