Mk5 Alluminum Panels

[rponfick]

For you Mk5 guys, is there a panel that covers the "X" brace below the firewall in the engine compartment over where the bellhousing would be located? I don't see one in my panels box and can't tell if it is on the diagram of aluminum panels.

It sure looks like there should be a panel filling that area, unless there is something I don't understand. I have been trying to post photos, but so far, no luck.

Thanks, Ralph

If it's anything like the coupe (and I believe it is) there is no panel. Most guys make one.

There is not a panel provided for that location.

I sell one for it if you don't want to make it.

Here is the Snakebitemotorworks.com panel with the coyote ECU, pre engine install:215263

I am just curious why one was not provided. It looks unfinished without one. Could it be for cooling purposes or interrace with other components?

Snakebite, I will be in contact.

Thanks, Ralph

Not sure, probably just trying to keep cost down for the kit. I have a couple of panels coming to make that space under the dash usable.
