Bought new tts engine cover (with pics)
« on: September 13, 2012, 03:54:28 pm »
This came the other day, so i set about stripping it down ready for filling and paint
I first removed the foam backing so that i could get to the clips that hold the trim pieces in place.


The trim then just pops out by pressing back the clips.

I then popped off the audi badge, there is a small recess where it once was, that got filled, then painted.
Here's how it turned out


I think i'm gonna pick out the tfsi in black
Let me know what ya'll think.

Cheaper than I thought they were.

Any modifications required for it to clip onto the engine or just it fit straight on easily?

Wouldn't mind one for mine.

Yes mate, you have to change the mounting brackets. They just unscrew, then fit tts ones. About £2 each.
