This is one i had custom made....

And another pic with it in the cowling - it looks better in the flesh - the flash makes everything look funny colours.

What type of cowling is that? It looks like it might fit my 200q20v rather well. Where can I find it?

Or, if anyone knows of a pillar mount for another car that would fit a Type 44/200q20v well, I'd like to know of it as well.

Dougs is his original s2 cowling, modified drastically to good effect!
Once created then he sprayed it. You can find his thread in one of the areas on the forum. I'll see if i can find it.

I used carb cleaner on my Mondeo maf and the neighbours Audi 80 2.0E intake flappy thing.

That is easier to get than IPA.

IPA India Pale Ale?

Iso Propyl Alcohol?

Pretty cool stuff.

Iso Propyl Alcohol?

Yup but the India Pale ale tastes better

They make it near you see:

If that doesn't clean the MAF then try the IsoPropyl alcohol version.

I like the pillar mount ones that are blended in but it would be a pain to do in our cars since it has the elephant skin effect on the plastic - I'm sure the coupe pillar is a huge thing - does it not got over the door as well? The steering cowel on mine was smooth plastic but I got one from an older S2 as well - a 1994 - and it had the elephant skin effect on it so both halves would need to be smoothed - but then the paint match would not have to be as good - although I got a good match in the end.

The Coupe screen pillar cover goes from the front of the screen to the 'B@ post.

I did the interior on the girlfriends Metro Turbo many years ago. I covered the plastic trim with leathercloth, which worked very well. Strangely enough it stopped a lot of squeaks!

You need some vinyl ( or real leather) a can of spray adhesive as well. Spray the trim and the material and leave, get a mate to help and then stretch the material and pull over the trim. It can stretch a long way and go round some strange shapes. Heat helps with the forming and stretching.
