Im slowly setting the car up for a re-map and doing all the good things to help cooling etc. I want to install an intake but don't want to rid the engine cover (Sounds silly but I don't like naked engines). Would I be best just fitting a panel filter or is there something that will fit to the intake pipe going into the engine cover?

Will I still be able to fit aftermarket PVC with the engine cover on?

Have you seen the TTs cover? Looks smarter than the oem IMO and fits with aftermarket inlets
