I got some self adhesive foam today from a guy off another UK forum, now I just need to figure out how to cut it out so I can fit it.

And of course here's the underside of my engine cover.

I also noticed that the centre badge is held in by little clips and would be easily removed which could prove useful if you could get a cover but needed a different logo, seat, vw, skoda.

I can add more specific photos etc if anyone wants them, showing the clips for the badge in more detail etc.

Make sure the foam won't break down and melt since it's sitting on an engine!

Lol that wouldn't be very useful, the guy works with his dad and they make foam for the auto industry and when I gave him the specs I did tell him that it had to be heat resistant and also fire retardent so as long as he has taken note of that I should be ok.

Besides I sat it on an old convector heater I have lying around and turned it up full, it got really hot but it was totally fine

What's the point of all that foam and engine cover stuff anyway? Took mine off years ago to help a bit with engine cooling. Doesn't sound any noisier plus you save a few unnecessary pounds.

You haven't seen my manky engine, that cover makes it look rather lovely

Well I'm pleased to say the engine cover with the new foam on it is working great, no melting or wierd smells
