My Custom Engine Cover for TFSI Engine

[DaveysFR]

Hi guys, heres a couple of pics of a custom engine plug cover I made last night for my Cupra. Its purely a cosmetic mod and offers no real function.

Its made from a sheet of gloss black acrylic cut and shaped with a coping saw and held on with some black heavy duty cable ties. The sticker was one I sourced from thevinylstore.com.

Any questions on where to get the acrylic links etc just ask.

I like the bare bones look with the engine cover removed!

Where did you get your Evoms from Dave?

Rob,

I got the EVOMs from JKM Performance I think it was around £375 all in (metal headshield and postage included).

Its a great piece of kit and sound great, darth vader on light to mid throttle and a rear induction sucking sound on hard acceleration. On lift off you get wastegate chatter which is just

Dammit Dave you're supposed to say it rubbish........

i might consider it later, have you seen the cover that you cant get from JKM or i think APR also do something. I was going to consider the K&N as its far cheaper then the EVOMS.

Looks smart. More of a spark plug cover... I think it'd look better if it was reflected on the other side of the oil cap to make a more complete cover. What you think? Could utlilise the existing cover mounts too.

SteveTDCi,

Yeah mate im going to get the JKM one eventually this is only an interm cover, cost less than a tenner all in and that includes postage

Knightrider,

This is only a rough prototype, I have ordered another A3 sized sheet of acrylic today and when it arrives at the start of next week I am going to attempt to make a bigger and better cover.

Thanks for the input.
