It's the a4 b7 normal transparent coolant resevoir, i have just got it paintet. Don't know if it's the same on the b6.

its prudy

[Cottonmouth]

Looks good! Too bad the CF doesn't follow the contours of the plastic piece more. It looks most noticable on the engine cover.

[B6JoeS4]

IMO, waste of $$$

[JRMSLINEA4]

I like the oil/coolant R8 caps. I think the engine cover would be better if it had all the emblems like the factory cover.

[djsnowman777]

it looks so prettyyyyy

[Sharkfin]

looks good, total cost?

[CZA420tAvant]

wow, nice. I loke the smooth look.

[Quattro]

if you painted the coolant tank, that is really nice, I actually really like it. I might have to borrow your idea =D What did you use to paint it and clean it up?

I wanted to do the r8 oil cap as well, subtle but different.

and i love the cf, but I agree it does need some rings on it.

looks great... i think if you want the rings on it you can take it off your old cover :)

that would look pretty sweet.

anyways, great job op. the coolant tank is a nice touch.

did you paint the washer fluid cap or is there a black one?

Actually i think that you are right, im thinking about putting the rings on it.

In the range off 500+$ including everything.

I had my paint shop to do all of the painting for me.

Coolant tank & the 3 caps.

very clean and an extra that will help at shows

[Quattro06]

very nice work with the cf. did you vacuum bag or just lay it? just curious cuz im working on a few cf parts myself. pics will be up soon i hope. also hope you clear coated the cf so it does not turn yellow on you.

[Bigswede]

Wow Allan that came out really great ;-)

Will have to see it live to really appreciate it

The RS4 style engine bay cover comes from me (thanks to Allan for his patience with our shipping fiasco)...$199 plus shipping

I also sell the coolant reservoirs if you wanted to paint one before installing, this way you do not have to clean yours after removal.

http://shop.dthaus.com/product.sc?ca...7&productId=97

I find that plasti-dip works best to paint the coolant reservoir and caps, you can find it at home depot for under $5.00

The engine cover does not quite match my RS4 style engine bay cover, maybe I will take a crack at having them made.

[Allan T]

The parts are from "Dthaus" and "EurogearUSA".

Thanks to Greg from Dthaus for his patience with me

Bigswede, just say when it's time to take our cars to the shower

could this work for us ? b7 wise

That cover is designed for the 1.8T motor, I do no think it will fit the 2.0T.

Are you going to make one for the 2.0T?

[shop.dthaus.com]

I am going to make a copy of the OEM cover in carbon fiber, with the same 2 x 2 twill weave as the RS4 engine bay cover I currently sell...

Will not happen overnight though, I have a couple of molds ahead of it in the que.

Nice job.
It looks great!

Any chance you have or can get the silver valve cover for the 2.0t? My car has the black one and if i dress up my engine bay I want to get the silver one and get red coil packs for a S4 look. I havent been able to find any part numbers for it.

[shop.dthaus.com]

I'm pretty sure I can get them...pricey as heck, about $250 each, including the red coil conduit.

06B 103 469 AR, not available in the USA through local dealers, would have to be imported.

[Alecd90]

is the engine cover cf design similar to the carbonio.. this could be a real nice mod if you can get the rings on the cf

[redlabel81]

So nice! Love it. :)
Get the rings on there and your done.
You are running the Carbonio?

I will check how similar the 2 parts are.

Yes it's the Carbonio, i will take some pics where it's possible to see all of the 3 cf parts.

[Arin@APR]

Looks great with our carbonio intake in there. ;-)

Have you given any though to using red coil packs and wire loom?

Actually yes, but i haven't found them yet for the 2.0T, maybe you know the part numbers for the parts?

love the daytime pics, I seriously want to go outside and spray my parts! lol
