Superb engine bays (2.0tsi)

[Dahmich]

What have people done to their engine bays to spruce them up etc, whether it be hydrodipping, paint etc what silicone pipes have you swapped out for .. more importantly pics and links if you have any? 

[JR RS]

Not much on mine - the obvious things r aftermarket intake, carbon fiber turbo inlet pipe, bling on the engine cover,  engine cover extension and hard plastic battery cover.

 

No bling bling colours for me.

Per chance you got any part numbers for these... I'm missing them! 😢

Cheers bud...out of curiosity does the battery cover just sit on top, I haven't got anything else for it to clip onto as mine is bare 😳

Yes it just sits in top, but one end (top right) is wedged under firewall trim.  

 

It's not ideal as it's loose, but it's been good the past few years.  Hasn't come off, no matter the driving conditions or style.

 

The battery felt cover around the sides also helps it stay put.

So ideally I need the battery bag too.  ...
