Hi all,
I have been looking everywhere, eBay/Google/Forums..without succes.
Perhaps someone here can help me out, or knows where it can be bought.
It's one of these here, a Carbon enginecover for the X16Xe that was made to cover the blank area when a Mantzel powerbox is installed.
Thnx

Wrong type that one is as it doesn't go up where the inlet manifold is.
I haven't seen any of these for sale for years.

Nobody  ..!
Have a lead on a Dutch forum (an owner that wants to sell his), and an offer from a developer (Carbon specialist who has the mold to create this specific enginecover). Of which I will choose one.
Should somebody here provide with a better deal, I'll be happy to buy it from you instead, therefor a final call. Going once..going twice..
If there is anybody, maybe from the future, who wants one, you can u2u me.

 I was expecting you, only not this fast.
To answer your question, yes, but it will take time, should be no problem for you, just drive in to that wall over there , set coördinates to 21-12-2012, 20:12;21 (that's 08:12,21PM).

You know, having read this thread, it's enlightened me.
Sat here having a shit, as you do, I've only just realised the difference between the cover I have and the old one.
Guess it is a Lexmaul one after all ...?
Although I don't have any other pics of it.

@ Haimsey;
Doesn't have to be, could as well have been made custom to fit your ram induction.
Personally I haven't seen one like yours before, not on any eBay site/online webshop or at Lexmaul..my guess would be, it was made by an other developer.

Hmm maybe so. Never really considered it.
Might get it out one day and have a proper look at it

Yeah mate, can't see what material yours is made of, but when you're taking it of, you should check on the backside, along the line where the stock-one normally ends (where the stock intakemanifold begins) to see if there is material added to a original cover. If no such line is visible, it is definitely made with a mold.
Not that that rules out much , only that it is not a homemade
