From the photo you cant tell what the problem is, without all the details we are not in a position to make any type of comment apart from the way the speed tape was applied......... a neater job could of fooled most pax into thinking it was a normal part of the aircraft!

Occasionally, speed tape is used on areas such as (example) oil fill access doors, where a latch has become defective, down route.
A repair would then be carried out upon RTB.
No way of telling however, from the above photo supplied.

If it was allowable with regard to documentation or an NTO from the manufacture the answer would be YES.
It looks like some of the panels top skin has come away and if you did not have a replacement, then it would be OK providing the above is covered.

ChicoG:
Your premise (engine maintenance) is incorrect. This is clearly a cosmetic airframe "repair".
But it does raise the obvious question - if this level of workmanship is within sight of the customer, what's going on "under the hood"?
