Sorry if this has been asked. How close is the top side of the Evora GT v6 to ours? I like that red engine cover. I wonder what the part and gasket costs?!

You would probably be better off searching painting engine covers on here. There are tons of info about painting you Emira one and you will still have the V6 lettering shown.
My dealer is happy for me to get the cover painted but not sure if they would have agreed to adding Evora parts. Worth asking if you still intend to fit the Evora one.

Painted my cover using VHT SP204 Wrinkle Plus Coating Red Can.

Cover is removed easily and the gasket stays intact. Simply cleaned the cover with alcohol. Let that dry and then applied about 4 coats of red. Let it dry overnight and then installed the next day. I left all lettering red for now but will maybe later sand through the paint to show the letters again.
