Shame you couldn't wrap the cover around the front like I did with mine. Looks good though. The car is coming on really well buddy. How did the door handles turn out? Good colour match?

Cheers mate, yeah I know its that bloody main wire that goes to the headlight that I couldnt budge, so had to cut it short.
They are a perfect colour match thanks to halford's flash red, hardly any orange peel on them either as iv really taken my time.
Thanks mate, without your template I would have been stuck
Not a problem mate, that's what it's on my RR for, pleased to hear its still being useful
Nice to meet you last night mate, I didnt get home till 2:40am last night, missed my turning and ended going to Braintree

You to mate
Oh crap not good, last thing you wanted to do to cap the night off Haha wasn't her cup of tea then, unless you like your cars then I can imagine it being boring, bit like us being dragged around the shops lol
good work on the heat shield mate, alot more simpler than my custom made one
Cheers mate, wasn't the easiest thing to do as, the template was the most time consuming thing.
Forge carbon engine cover on
That my friend is a very, very, very nice engine bay
Congrats, well done
Looks good mate.
Not fitted mine as yet. Take it you removed that big silver sticker? Did yours line up ok with the screw mounts? My ECS one never lined up properly when I had that a while ago.
Thanks to you mate i wouldn't have known about this cover if it wasn't for you
Erm yeah that sticker was nasty. I thought it wasn't going to line up properly but as soon as i put the rubber bit from under the OE cover it fitted nicely

Congrats, well done
Thankyou kind sir, still no where near as good as some peoples bays on here though.

Haha! No worries mate, glad you got one and it's all looking sweet
Mine lines up fine on the screw holes, tried it now. But the oil cap is sitting towards the top of the opening so it doesn't line up exactly how I want it. I think I'll get a pic over to Forge on Monday and see if they can send another one out. Bugger! The Porsche cap is a lot smaller than the Forge oil caps, which I believe fill this centre oil cap in the cover almost entirely. I am thinking maybe I should get one of those aswell, lol.

Mine does exactly the same as yours mate, iv held it in place for now until I figure out a more permanent solution. Might be worth getting the forge oil cap but you have to buy that and the coolant one together, and at £80 is steep
Why doesn't anything go smooth

Hmm... I wonder if you could do something with the bracket nearest the left handside at the back by the charge pipe where the cover slots onto?
I will email Forge on Monday and see what they say bud.
