Right, I think I know what to do now - It just needs some ultra strong metal-to-metal adhesive, probably from Gill. Thanks for the JB Cold Weld tip, singh :happy2: - Could be useful for something else one day.
Below is a pic of the destructed hole cut by a previous owner, but with a stainless washer to reform a hole. Hence my need for adhesive.
I can then bolt through the newly formed hole and attach to the bracket on the engine which is near the tubular intake and battery : -
I've had an idea which could make fixing the EVOMS engine cover much less of a hassle and will post details in a new How-To thread when mine is complete. The important advantage of the modification I'm doing is that it will make the EVOMS cover so much more easy to take on and off but it will be just as securely anchored.

i think the way the side bolt was fitted the bolt was fitted was the other way round so thebolt head was facing the engine and then tightend
here is a pic of mine

....It looks almost impossible to me to access any nut or screw head for tightening/loosening on the engine side of the EVOMS cover, on the battery/passenger side. And a royal pain-in-the-butt at the very least. Doesn't your ITG intake use the same engine bracket?
If you liked the idea, singh, I think you could source a round Seat logo for your stock centre strip. I sourced an enamel blue and white VW badge.
As my carbon strip is so expensive I'm not going to cut off its fixing tabs but will instead drill into the EVOMS to receive the tabs. Here is a mock-up : -

That should look the business once you have finished arsin about with it RR! :happy2:
