Volkswagen MK7/7.5, GTI/R Carbon Fibre Engine Cover

Volkswagen MK7/7.5, GTI/R Carbon Fibre Engine Cover

Replace the moulded plastic engine cover on your EA888 with this Carbon Fibre Engine Cover, a full replacement shell that follows the factory contour including the oil filler recess and the side venting.

It locates on the original mounting points and clips down exactly as the standard cover does, so nothing is modified. Because it replaces the cover rather than sitting over it, the bonnet still closes on standard clearances.

It is the only change that transforms the engine bay, and it is what turns opening the bonnet at a meet into part of the build rather than an afterthought.

Key Features

Full Cover Replacement

Fits in place of the factory plastic cover on the original mounting points, not over it.

Follows the Factory Contour

The oil filler recess, side venting and raised centre are all reproduced, so it looks like a factory carbon option.

Direct Clip Fitment

Locates and clips down exactly as the standard cover does. No modification and no fasteners to add.

Bonnet Clearance Retained

Because it replaces rather than overlays, clearance under the bonnet is unchanged.

High Gloss Twill Finish

A clear gloss finish over a consistent twill weave, matched to the look of factory Volkswagen R and GTI carbon components.

Performance Benefits

Transformed Engine Bay

The single change that makes the bay worth opening, and the first thing seen at any meet or show.

Lightweight Replacement

Carbon construction is lighter than the moulded plastic original.

Straightforward Fitment

A direct clip-in swap, among the easiest carbon upgrades on the car.

Completes Your Carbon Fibre Build

Matches the weave and finish of the rest of the Proven Performance Parts Golf carbon range.

Please Note

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

For the 2.0 TSI EA888 engine. Check your cover shape against the photographs before ordering.

Minor preparation, alignment or adjustment may be required during installation to achieve optimal fitment.

Due to the nature of carbon-fibre manufacturing, slight variations in weave pattern may occur between products.
