Title: ECS Carbon Fibre Rad Cover
Post by: keith on June 07, 2010, 10:50:14 pm
Got back from the SVAG Megameet and my ED30 is looking a bit tired these days, my alloys need refurbed which I hope to do before our next show and the lower splitter is stone chipped. Its also getting lowered soon with a set of H&R springs
We have our car as part of the washshop display and always have the bonnet up so folks can see inside and check out the air intake and to show some of the customers some of the products that we sell but as with attending shows you see all the other proper display cars and you get to wanting so I have been checking out what I can get to make the engine bay that liitle bit more interesting - Forge charcoal cannister cover, Forge turbo hoses, then I found this and I am not sure about it wondered if anyone had one fitted.

Also wanted to replace the bright blue washer cover and coolant covers with black ones and wondered what other VAG models had the same size covers but black again here

the carbon fiber part is nice but waaaay to expensive.

I think the CF Slam Panel looks ok as long as you don't have lots of carbon elsewhere (like I do!).

Jcaps?:

^ Black anodised alu, good quality, but not cheap.
