Any thoughts anyone on this C7 RS6 Engine Cover with subtle Carbon Accents, non-OEM and not a £540 option (when added to new car purchase)?

Waste of money for me
500 dollars to spend on something more worth while....but each to their own

Can barely spot the difference.
Would sooner spend 500 quid on a quality ho.

THANKS DOODLEBUG, I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD SAY THAT. It cost me NOTHING ! Nothing other than < 1 hour of my time, as all the Carbon Accents are Carbon Wrap, which I discovered is very heat tolerant and of course the heat, which isn't very great on top of the engine cover as opposed to underneath, actually helps the fitment.
If any one feels its worth doing the same, then please PM me.

I quite like that actually. Good job Harrier! You can never have enough carbon on your car IMHO.

You guys are paying way too much for hoes.
Check out this one from Holland:

Surely that ho is a little one dimensional and requires self application?

Rather than hoes, I'd buy fork handles or perhaps four candles!
