Stock engine bays are so cute ... and dirty. Well congrats ... be safe and smart. It looks like it has a mullet with only a C-West rear bumper cover on it.

Congrats!

Make sure to check those filters every now and then (with your normal maintenance routine), as the foam tends to eventually get hard and brittle. You can order them pretty cheap.

Congratulations on your 7 purchase. Welcome to the dark obsession that is the 7, and welcome to the forum. Here is a link that I recently posted. This should give you some really good tips on how to take care of your 7. And as I said in the other thread I think these tips should be read by everyone at least for consideration. These are a really great way to keep your 7 in good repair and order. Here's the link:

Good luck and again welcome!

Thumbs up
What kind of rear valence is that? Veilside? It looks very cleanly molded in, never seen a car with only a rear valence but from the back it looks great. Paint looks really clean!

I was going to ask that too... it doesn't look like c-west either, the lips on the c-west is sharper and doesn't go in that far, the end evenly on both sides.
this one is really nice the way it wraps around
