Unboxing a Karbonius Carbon Fibre Vented Engine Cover

[oceansize]

Don't speak too soon. I pulled the OEM cover off and noticed it had metal inserts/guides/eyelets/flanges (whatever they are called) pressed into the plastic that fit snugly over the protruding mounting bolts - but the Karbonius has no such thing, and the holes are way too big for the mounting bolts - looks like shit when I put it on.

I am guessing they forgot to install them. The covers on their website appear to show metal inserts. The inserts on the original cover do not appear to be removable and feel too deep to swap over to the carbon fibre in any case

Has anyone fitted one of these previously? I will be sending mine back if this is how its supposed to be.

They definitely left out the metal inserts. From their website:

This is a high-quality replica of the genuine piece with some openings which facilitate the hot air removal in the upper part of the engine for an optimal refrigeration, and includes all the original moorings, so installation could be done in minutes

I'm assuming the word moorings refers to those pieces and I see the picture on the site you are referencing.

This cost me my left testicle (luckily I have a spare). Although Karbonius listed this as 'in stock' it took several weeks for them to manufacture (they offered me a different carbon fibre to the one I ordered - which was refused).

Luckily Fedex delivery made up in some part for the delay - was very snappy from Spain to Oz.

Quality appears impeccable. Nice recess for M badge (pity it's not included for the price)

Main fear is it's gonna show up everything else under the bonnet once installed
