Scott Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Do we have anyone that makes/supplies these? No idea what to search for to be honest so I've had no luck digging around. Looking to buy a couple of the corner covers to cover over the brake reservoir/charcoal canister area. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Just bumping this as it appears SRD don't do them anymore and the ones from charge auto styling require a fair amount of modification. Does anyone know of anyone else who does these? I noticed the OCD works ones but they are from the US and cost over $1000 without shipping and tax Edited February 7, 2017 by JasonR24 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 They dont require "that much" modification, give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Tim @ TB Developments (a trader on here) can make them to order Brilliant, cheers mate They dont require "that much" modification, give it a go! Well from what he told me on Facebook: "You'll need to lower or remove the charcoal canister. Move the ignitor to where the charcoal canister was, or by the abs pump. It's also a good idea to pull the loom from the passenger side inner wing, and feed it around the shock tower, so it's out of the way. The loom on the driver side inner wing, simply unclips, and can be fed round the shock tower, behind the turbos. The heater hoses at the back may need tidying up, to allow the centre piece to sit over them. The panel will need trimming to clear the stock inlet manifold - you may be able to see in my pic. I'm not sure about clearance on the stock turbo setup, but I'd imagine the driver side panel will also need to be trimmed to clear. The throttle cable can be unclipped, and fed behind the brake servo, and them back across to the throttle body" They do look really really good but I feel they aren't really for the stock setup and I'm not comfortable trimming carbon as I know I'd mess it up Gary England on Facebook makes carbon ones I think those are the charge auto styling ones?

Ric Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah this is the new "covers" not boxes if it has the centre section.. for those i have no idea. yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah this is the new "covers" not boxes if it has the centre section.. for those i have no idea. yet. Yea they look amazing but I don trust myself to make the feared changes. I imagine the normal boxes may need the charcoal canister moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Come down bud, and I would be happy to fit them for you! The only tricky bit is the heater hoses. Ok when the engine is cold, but not so much with boiling hot coolant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Bit of inspiration for you Jeffers did my two outter metal covers to help me out, he did say he wouldn't be doing another set though as they proved him alot of headache....mainly as I wanted smooth welds. Superb work though, fit great dropped straight in with no modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 We are still doing engine bay boxes but we are currently tweaking the design so they fit better which is why they havent been around. Will be ready to go in the next couple of weeks will update he thread with details and pricing when ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Another option I was looking at was using Nimbus Lite Heat Shield http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection/nimbus-lite-heat-shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Another option I was looking at was using Nimbus Lite Heat Shield http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection/nimbus-lite-heat-shield Oddly enough I have just received a sheet of exactly that. I was planning on shaping it to protect a cold air feed from heat from an aftermarket manifold, I'm sure it can be worked to make some kind of engine bay box/cover, as per here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?302082-Axle-Destroyer-3-4-Titan-Stroker/page21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I am looking at Garys , I like the shape but alot of work to get them to fit an OEM setup At least the Nimbus Lite Heat Shield you might be able to tweak fairly easily , be nice painted satin black with the Diamond cut design Keep us posted on how easy it is to work with, shape and cut , might try make up a template the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Tim @ TB Developments (a trader on here) can make them to order I don't think he can mate, we asked him about this and he said for the cost of materials etc and fabrication it wouldn't be worth it for the £200 retail price.

Sheefa Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 They do look really really good but I feel they aren't really for the stock setup and I'm not comfortable trimming carbon as I know I'd mess it up I trimmed my carbon boxes and slam panel with a dremel and it was easy as hell.
