Edit: just checked the car configurator, yep, looks like it's related to the black pack. My mistake.

Sounds like things are different in the UK.

I think that is just hydrodipped, not the actual carbon fiber engine cover. You can tell by the distortion and warping of the weave around bends. So a lot cheaper. $300 according to IRRBrogue.

I showed the local installer this picture. He offers the same pattern, but pointed out that to accentuate the weave, this pattern is black and silver. To make it look more like real carbon fiber, he can spray a tint coat that will mute the silver. The supercharger labels are plastic welded to the cover, so he would just mask over them, instead of trying to take them off. Lots of options for the Jaguar labels and the three center stripes. These look painted, and the black around the Jaguar was probably painted. It looks like the back section of the cover was dipped separately, since the weave is running at 90 degrees to the front weave. Also, a new cover is part #C2P25882, and retails for $136.50, in case you want to go back to stock. This process requires the original cover to be painted and sanded smooth before being dipped.
