As per title really.

Does anybody have a VW part number for the engine cover on the vRS please?

My be doing a bit of painting, but want to keep my original cover as well

Thanks,

Stu.

Edit: TPS quoted me £25+VAT but can't provide a part number.

+1 I'm after doing the same to mine

Thinking of trying plasti dip, it peels off if you don't like it.

I don't need mine if anyone wants it

I'm after this aswell.. Seen some excellent examples and also want original and painted

25pounds? Is it really that cheap?

You have a PM mate.

Also, for those interested, I looked in the obvious place for the part number (on the engine cover itself!)

Part Number: 03C 103 925 BR

Just got quoted £1,668 for the engine cover on one of these spares websites.. my personal opinion thinks that's a bit steep..

Any information where I could possibly pick one of them up? I've found a few from German sellers on eBay but with the VW logo insert

Are u sure you don't get the engine with that lol?? Try Skoda, doubt they will be more than £25

Finally got around to ordering the engine cover and some 8x8x race blue paint and lacquer can't wait for the end results and will hopefully post some pictures up! although won't be attached to the car.. as I haven't got it yet

Finally got round to posting the final results up of my painted engine cover. I originally had it painted with the TSI lettering in red but didn't think it would look quite right with the black, so took it back to the primer and finished it in the same race blue. Unfortunately no pictures of it on the car.. as I am still waiting for it.. Roll on December!

What sort of paint did you use? Or to put it another way, how heat resistant is it?

I firstly just used some grey plastic primer I had spare from Halfrauds, then had some Race Blue Aerosol mixed and finished off with clear lacquer (both supposedly rated up to 300*C)

Looks very nice - would like to see it installed.

Finally got my vRS with the CTHE engine

Looks good, mate Thinking of painting the oil cap?

Cheers mate! I think i'm either going to just leave the oil cap or get a different one. I used paint apparently suitable to 300*C and had a feel and smell of it after a 20 minute run and it felt okay and smelt okay. But will definitely keep an eye on it as the last thing I want is for it to spontaneously burst into flames!
