Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Audi Leather Engine Bay

Custom upholstered engine covers aren’t all that rare. In fact, you’re likely to find a few at nearly every car show you attend. But an entire engine bay trimmed in high-grade leather? Now that’s a sight to see.

To see more photos, check out the vehicle’s build profile on EuroTuner.
