Product Description
Volkswagen GTI / Jetta 2005-2010 Stainless Engine Trim Package, 7 Pieces (EP25665)
EP25665 is a seven-piece polished stainless engine trim package listed for two Volkswagens from 2005 through 2010: the GTI and the Jetta. Every piece is 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
How the fitment is listed
There are two rows:
- Volkswagen GTI, 2005-2010, tagged 2-door Hatchback and 4-door Sedan.
- Volkswagen Jetta, 2005-2010, tagged 2-door Hatchback and 4-door Sedan.
Both rows carry the same combined body list, which looks like it was copied across rather than set for each model. We've flagged it for review. Fitment for an engine part is less about body style than the engine bay itself, so compare the product photos with what's under your hood and call us to confirm before ordering. The Fitment tab shows both rows.
Seven pieces for the engine bay
An engine trim package is a set of polished accents for surfaces in the engine bay. The catalog doesn't say where each of the seven pieces goes. Use the photos as the layout guide, and lay all seven out beside them before peeling any liners.
The steel
Type 304 stainless, 26 gauge, polished. A thin sheet with a bright face that's the metal itself rather than plating.
Mounting
On the GTI or Jetta, each of the seven engine pieces fits over the existing surface without drilling. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the vehicle's surface.
Engine bay prep
Work only when the engine is cool. Under-hood surfaces collect a fine film of oil and dust that stops tape from bonding. Clean every mounting area with degreaser, wipe off the residue, and do it a second time if the first cloth comes away dirty. Make sure nothing is loose or flaking. Let it dry fully.
Fitting seven parts
- Match each piece to its spot using the photos.
- Dry-fit with the liner on; mark the edges with painter's tape.
- Peel, align and press firmly across each piece.
- Press again after a minute.
- Work one piece at a time until all seven are on.
A small flashlight helps in tight corners. The Installation tab has full prep.
Why an engine package
If you open the hood to show the car, polished accents make the engine bay look as finished as the exterior. Nothing mechanical changes.
Before the liners come off
With seven pieces, keeping them in order matters. Start with the piece that's easiest to reach and most visible, since it sets the look for the rest. Take a photo of your engine bay before you begin; it's handy to compare against the product photos and useful if you need to call us with a question. Keep the liners on until each piece's spot is confirmed.
Checklist
Confirm a 2005-2010 GTI or Jetta, compare the photos with your engine bay, and plan for a cool engine and a dry day.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth once the engine is cool, and avoid abrasives.

Installation tips: Engine Trim Package
- Unpack all 7 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
