I am looking at fitting an S3 upper strut brace to my TDi. Before you say search I have :p
and I have read on several threads that I will need to modify the plastic engine cover so that the strut brace will fit.
BUT no one says what or how you have to do to modify it.
I need to know as I am looking at spraying my cover the same colour as the car. Looking at adding some style under the bonnet :rolleyes: and obviously want to make sure everything is done before it is sprayed.

All advice appreciated

You will have to cut the engine cover back. Look at my progress thread to see what I mean.

Alternatively you can try and put some seat belt cover on the strut brace to remove the vibration.
