Thoughts on this? thought the factory one could be improved upon, definitely nicer than the plastic unit fitted as standard.

Looks good but could do without the extra badges at the bottom. Is it dipped or real Carbon fibre?

I take that back, I've just checked and the badges at the bottom are meant to be there!

That'll be the Eventuri carbon engine cover, which doesn't come with any badges, so you'll need to swap them over from your existing one.

Other options are find a genuine Audi carbon engine cover on eBay - keep an eye on Germany, as a few come up there. Also, you could find an RS5 cover and swap the RS4 badge from your existing one.

I just bought an OEM one from eBay UK, should have it next week. They do pop up but not that often at a sensible price.

Is the OEM not just half carbon?

Yes it is, that one you have had made looks really good. I bet that cost a fortune to make as a one off!?

Yeah they done a good job. Most mess up the weave and make it look pants

Have they skinned the original and is it in two pieces still?
It's not clear from that picture when viewed on my phone.

Yeah, original skinned, had to be taken apart into 2 pieces to be done.
