....Hmm, an interesting comment, Ian.

So what is an example of a 2.0T FSI engine bay which you find attractive aesthetically?

Surely not that interesting Robin.  :confused:

I don't find any of the 2.0 TFSI engine bays attractive they are a necessary evil. The OEM one looks good though.

@ sub39h:

That engine cover is beautiful!  :drool: - It wouldn't fit my AXX engine though.


... why not? i nearly got one for my AXX


....Sorry, I assumed it wouldn't fit. Those must be false coilpack covers in carbon in the front then. I wouldn't want an Audi badge on my Volkswagen though. It would look lush on my red GTI. OSIR are always expensive unfortunately.

it's an OEM TT-S engine cover, with OSIR carbon adornments. pic for reference:



The cover itself is less than £70 from Audi, and you need to change your mounting pegs which i believe are another £10 (together, not each) or so

the Audi rings are clipped in so will detach - in fact the top bit also says "TFSI" on it, which OSIR seem to have removed

you can wrap the carbon bits instead of getting the OSIR ones

Fortunately, I like mine enough not to change it. Besides, it's custom made and also real carbon.

The Audi one you have posted is an excellent solution to the OEM engine cover which looks more like a kitchen appliance with a cheap imitation silver strip. (IMO)
