Not sure if you can order from Azarashi. Otherwise from Optimized (Cedric).

They can, as shown above, be modified to fit the 511.

It is a great option part. It only costed 19 euros + shipping. Another positive thing is that it is small. I tried it on my 501X.

The downside is that you have to remove both pieces of the diff cover and top deck in order to remove the diff. Thats another 6 screws for the top deck + 2 screws that secures the diff cover, total of 12 screws. If you have stabilizers on the car itīs another 2 screws.

The reason why you have to remove the upper deck is that the front piece of the diff cover is held in place by the top deck.
You canīt remove the diff without removing the front piece of the diff cover.

Normally on the 511 you do not need to remove the top deck, just the shock tower = 4 screws + 1 nut (for the damper).
This is one BIG difference between the 501X and 511.

On the 501 it didīnt really matter. You had to remove the top deck in order to access the diff. 8 screws for the top deck/shock tower and 2 screws for the diff cover. Then you could remove the diff cover pieces and then the diff. puh...
You didīnt exactly laugh when you realised that you had forgotten the front piece of the diff cover and had to remove the top deck again.

Also a small detail, you canīt use a reversed damper tower setting with the optimized diff cover. You can probably modify the cover, but it will leave holes on the top of the cover.

Maybe you understand why I made my own diff cover for the 511.
