lol, never thought about how the engine cover looked before, on any car for that matter 
I guess when your car is perfect, what else do you have to worry about? 
Good luck with that, man
Actually, come to think of it, that cover DOES look nice...
:P

You will want to find out if the mounting points for the engine cover are the same for your engine, and the donar. I know it clips to the fuel rail, so look for that. Also, take your engine cover to the junkyard, and go find a S2 car, and see if it would clip on. If the mounting points are not the same, it isn't going to work, no matter what. You may also have clearance issues, and a whole heap of other problems. My opinion, the mounting points aren't even going to be remotely close, and it will stop there. Mind you, I don't even have a S1 engine, so what do I know?

It does look cooler than the stock ones do. It might work, you would have to check for that oil cap attatchment area thing. And where else it attatches.

He**,I wasn't too crazy about mine after reading about so many people taking their'* off. It looks alot cooler now and people who don't know much about cars ask me what that is on top of the motor.
I tell them it is a VACUUM CLEANER for when my interior gets dirty.
I just crank 'er up and clean 'er out!!!!!!

As long as the mounting brackets are the same it will fit. Personally I took all my mount brackets off (gotta love weight reduction and overall cooler running).

I like my cover, just needs a lil modification to get a lil mre air over to the */C to cool it off a lil bit, especially for when I get that smaller pullley put on.
