This is jamie's:



It's a Monaro but the engine is the same.

We did Jamies one. We also tried on a VXR8, but the shape of the cover doesn't really lend itself to this. In a nutshell it doesn't fit! Of course, if you get a Monaro cover, then you do the same as in the picture. And no, i dont have any spare

If anyone has a spare cover let me know.....

can they not cut the engine cover u have already? I thought it was on the basis of a swap, they take yours tocut for the next customer and u get the last guy's cover. I guess cutting the one u own just means a longer wait till u get your car back. But... like blue peter style,"here is one i done earlyer" bolt on and go...

See post above where Monkfish says "We also tried on a VXR8, but the shape of the cover doesn't really lend itself to this. "

Just rig it like most people do here in the states. lol It is scary how much Duck tape, superglue, and bondo are used.
