Turbo Look part number doesn't exist?
 
I'm trying to source a new engine lid for my unplanned body modifications, and looking in the parts&tech reference it seems there are two part numbers; one for the Carrera, and one for the Turbo... BUT none for the turbo-look???

Stock, my engine lid had the Carrera cut-out (small) but was drilled for the turbo spoiler.

The turbo lid that is drilled for the spoiler has the larger cut out (for the intercooler).

So, where is my lid? Do I need to get the Carrera lid and drill the holes myself?

TIA,

Your M491 would be the Carrera lid

Drill to fit. Life is cruel.

Thanks guys, that's what I was suspecting. I'll order the Carrera lid.

Run it with just a normal deck lid without a tail. I like that look a lot.

I do too, but I've cut open my lid a little to add a bigger A/C condenser... so I need some kind of grill to fit over the opening that is bigger than the stock Carrera size. Or I re-position my condenser and not have the max airflow thru it. Maybe I'll try that for a while.

I would not recommend tailless rear unless you remove the front chin spoiler too or you may get rear end lift at high speeds

I would not recommend a tailless rear on a widebody car for pure aesthetic reasons!
