New Engine Cover HELP!

[BWH0088]

Looks like there is two options out there.

The first is the Neuspeed Carbon Fiber cover for $329

The next is the EVOMS Aluminum cover for $99.

Which would you choose to go along with the VWR intake system??????

I like the "stock" look of the Evoms.

The Neuspeed is cool, but a bit boy racerish. You really cant go wrong with either though.

Im afraid it may rattle due to it being aluminum. Also looks a bit cheap.

I have the evoms.

it doesn't come with the grey part in the middle. and you'll ruin it if you swap it over, so it's a big irreversible step.

I left mine without it and modified the cover to look better.
I trimmed the rear a bit and bent the rear edge of it to mimic the front. looks MUCH more finished that way.

I couldn't deal with no cover. the bare engine is pretty nasty looking.

it's actually quite stout.
and Im positive it's not aluminum but krinkle-finish powder coated steel.

Thanks for the info Im now leaning towards the Neuspeed Carbon fiber cover even though its quite pricey!

Do you have any pics? Also, silly question but does it attach to the four stock mount points?

I went with the Neuspeed because it matches the Forge intakes. It looks fantastic, in my opinion.

Thanks Im about to order the Neuspeed can someone just please confirm it will def fit with the VWR intake system?

After I saw the look of the engine with the oil filler neck removed I've decided that's the way I'm going. Looks decent and it's free.

I'm also wondering about this.

[BWH0088]

It fit wit the Twintake as mentioned earlier in the thread so I think it would fit with the VWR intake. Just would like to know for sure before I order.

Personally I will rework to get the Audi TTS cover on and buff/paint flat black the part where there is Audi Logo. Slap on VW emlbem and it's custom work done.

Did someone say pics? 3 mounting points. 2 of the left, and one on the right...

Get Audi A4 from 2005.5-2009 FSI Cover and remove the 4 rings.

It'll fit fine. It only really covers the intake manifold and leaves the valve cover open.

I modified my stock one and kept the stock heat shield as well.
