After the Volkswagen Racing cold air intake
has been fitted, the original engine cover became unsuitable, since it has integrated factory intake system and therefore interfere with the new air intake.

I don't like to view the exposed engine each time without a special need. Furthermore, without an engine cover it's a chance to get coils and other small electric parts wet when raining.
So I decided to fill this gap and bought engine cover from
Audi TTS. This car utilize the same engine, that my Cupra R, but it has another air intake system straight from the factory, that comes separately from the engine cover.
And last but not least: it's suitable to use with the Volkswagen Racing air intake by it's dimensions.

Now, the car's under hood has a nice and clean look.
