Engine Cover with Carbon Accents (non-OEM)

Post by harrier » Thu Mar 23, 2017 2:21 am

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)?

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.

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

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