Mines beat up. It's missing a cap, scratched to hell and the dealer says they can't get the fastener cap for some reason. I'm thinking I'll just replace the whole thing w/new 'caps' to spice up the engine bay. I've done some searches. No luck. A nice CF one or some kind of euro variation would be nice I suppose |  |  | | 07-10-2008, 02:32 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 1,152 |
You can always take the old one and paint it. If not then ask Phil to see if he still makes the CF cover. http://vitessetuning.com/ | | | | | 07-10-2008, 03:01 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

I just talked to Phillip at Vitesse. Nice guy.There in Montreal Canada and it's a made to order item.
He says they use a brand new OE part and laminate the CF to it. He's gettin' back to me on price and time frame later today by email | | | | | 07-10-2008, 07:58 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

Phil is a good guy and he has a HOT Hartge ti!  Met him and saw his ti at the Bav auto show in NH a couple of times. He is on this forum from time to time. Check out his link. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthrea...highlight=phil | | | | | 07-10-2008, 09:27 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
I got a bunch of "caps" for my M52 engine covers from bimmerparts.ca
Im sure Bavarian Auto Recyclers could hook u up too. __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

Excellent. Not a bad price considering you have to use and OE part to start. I'll make sure to post some pics when it's on | | | | |
