I'm after an engine cover before I cut mine up to fit in my BMC CDA just so i've got one if I need to revert back or sale of car. I've been offered one from a 16v Auto. I have a 8v. Looking at pics the 16v would look better with the CDA, poss less cutting. I would debagde it, but would it fit? Has anyone done this or tried or are they totally different. I would cut up the 16v so dont mind a bit of modification if needed. Any help would be great, cheers
