Hi mate, very shiny. Due to you polishing what i think u have called the fuel rail protector (5th picture) i think your the right man to ask. how is this fitted becuase mine has come lose and is constanly rattling when driving. Hope u will be able to help.

LOL yeah I know, I remember you posting about doing it, or someone else anyway, takes a lot of bloody hard work. Wish I had the time to do it as it looks beautiful.


Did you just use sand paper or something else?

 

[john.med]

[Guy]

aluminium oxide paper 40/80 grit

then wet n dry for ages

200,400,800,1200,1500

then autosol metal polish

the autosol gets it good enough though to be honest.

got told its the best stuff you can get

but to be honest i cant noticably see much diff after using it..

 

[Pumpkin]

[Dave S2K]

[MRBILLYUK]

Looks good mate

Did you spray the engine cover yourself ? Where did you get the 2.0 and 16v stickers from ??

 

[Guy]

Looks good mate

took the cover to local bodyshop - spraybay racepaint

they painted it, cut the 2.0 16v out of vinyl, stuck it on, then laquered over it all

so the stickers wont peel off when i polish it

cost me 40 quid
