A McLaren 720S engine-cover inquiry should name both the body style and the position of the requested section. The catalog separates an upper section, a hardtop lower section, a convertible lower section and additional hardtop cover or air-bridge entries. Asking for “one engine cover” is therefore insufficient for a shop preparing a complete customer quote.
McLaren 720S covers: documented catalog choices
| Reference | What the catalog distinguishes | What to establish for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Item 26 | Engine-compartment upper section | Confirm its exact application and relationship to the other selected sections. |
| Items 27–28 | Lower sections labeled hardtop and convertible | Keep the Coupe and Spider choices distinct in the order. |
| Items 29–31 | Hardtop cover and air-bridge entries | Ask whether these are needed for the requested appearance; do not bundle automatically. |

Follow body style → cover section → optional air bridge
The 720S lower sections have distinct hardtop and convertible entries. Start there, then decide whether the customer also wants upper or additional pieces.
| Customer requirement | Candidate reference | Keep separate |
|---|---|---|
| Coupe lower section | Item 27 | Item 28 is the convertible-labeled alternative. |
| Spider lower section | Item 28 | Do not use a Coupe inspiration photo as its application evidence. |
| Upper section | Item 26 | Its relationship to the chosen lower section needs a written scope. |
| Hardtop cover or air-bridge request | Items 29–31, choose exact row | An air bridge is not automatically part of an upper/lower cover order. |
- Mark the desired section on an overhead photograph of the customer’s own car.
- Write lower-only or upper-plus-lower in the inquiry rather than one engine cover.
- If both a cover and an air bridge are selected, reconcile their boundaries in an annotated supplied-parts photograph before accepting the count.
A lower-only proposal and an upper-plus-lower proposal should appear as two scopes, not as competing prices for an apparently identical product.
McLaren 720S covers: application boundaries
Use an annotated rear view and an overhead view to mark the part boundaries. Identify components to be replaced, retained or ordered additionally. When comparing two suppliers, make sure both quotes include the same sections. A price for a lower section is not comparable to an offer containing upper and lower pieces, even when both product titles say engine cover.
Illustrative workshop decision
Example: a customer sends a Coupe photograph but owns a Spider and asks for the same carbon finish. The finish is a styling goal, not an application reference. Start a Spider-specific panel list using the actual vehicle. Retain the inspiration photo as a finish reference only, and obtain the appropriate supplied-contents photographs before pricing the work.
720S Spider lower-section request: example inquiry
Example inquiry — 720S Spider lower-section request
Reference: 720S catalog, page 3, item 28.
Requested scope: Convertible lower section; upper section and air-bridge pieces not assumed included.
Add the actual vehicle details, quantity per selected line and delivery destination. The reference and scope above are an inquiry example, not an accepted order.
Do not fill a missing section in the quote by borrowing a Coupe reference from another row. Ask for the supported Spider configuration or narrow the offer to the documented scope.
McLaren 720S covers: buyer questions
Can a Coupe lower section be assumed to fit a Spider?
No. The source lists separate entries; confirm the requested body-specific part.
Does an air bridge form part of every engine-cover order?
It is listed separately. Request an explicit inclusion statement.
Can two quotes be compared by the word cover alone?
No. Compare section boundaries, piece count, hardware scope and the same vehicle application.
