yes i did, ill reply to all e-mail tomorrow

yes it can be done lawrence, but the problem is when i polish that surface, the polisher "rounds off" the edges of the renault sport raised lettering and the three lines, no way round it really

the one in the pic has the "renault sport" lettering face polished, would look good with a carbon engine cover

BBs turbo has only the inlet runners polished, but mike172sports inet is completley polished, looks nice, but im very picky when it comes to attention to detail, and rounded edges are a no no

well ballcrusher did say that if it was to be polished all the way round then the lettering would become rounded, but maybe its a good thing, would certainly look different

i can do it, but its not a nice job LOL, i mean you try polishing between the three lines and in between the letters!!!!

even between the runners is a bugger

id have to use basically a fancy air dremel type tool to do it!!!

oooh, i nearly forgot to mention, i can have the top flat face machined flat and then mirror polished (ie remove the "Renault Sport" logo completley)

and i can have whatever you want cut into it

such as "my car is quicker than yours" etc etc

i know what you mean, in between letters would be a b**ch, have you though about doing any other polishing in the 172 engine bay?

alternator, brackets, mounts, the stabiliser bar above the battery???

can you polish almost anything that is bare metal in the engine bay?

ive polished my inlet manifold did it by hand though alot of sanding!!!!

the top with the logo is a ballache to do, havent finished that yet its too fiddley to get into.

Powder coat my rocker cover 449?
