I have had various prices ! One came in at around £40 but said would confirm.

One said 60 but couldnt shot blast , another said 70 - 80 and one came back at 140 😳

But recent enough.

Have you had the manifold port matched and stuff? cos MS offer paint after they've done the machine work.

If it was me I'd just get items painted with a good zinc primer undercoat, powder coating always starts to fail very easily on certain exposed items on the corners etc if the cars used as a daily etc from my experience, engine parts would be fine maybe but subframes, beams etc will get rattled by stones and breakdown easily, powder coat repairs are a pain also from my opinion

No its totally stock , who are MS and does the porting help do you reckon its not an rs stamped one either

These guys, alot of people use them for port matching 1*2 manifolds. A good number had it done, general consensus is that it is worth the effort.

You'd be best getting an 'RS' stamped lower inlet first tho, then send that over for porting.

They look ace after some paint as well.

Max at MS does some proper good tackle, a few of my mates have his matched inlets painted and they haven't had a single issue with them either

they all get opened up to the same port size wether they are R.S stamped or not 👍🏻

I had MS inlets on the old car. Looked great. The other alloy bits i just cleaned up and sprayed myself.

I had some bits done on a trophy restoration i was doing i would never get a subframe powdercoated ever again. I would have ot blasted and possibly painted. It just doesn't come out nice.

The problem I have with powdercoat on parts that need bolt force exerting on is that the coating cracks. Obviously around mating faces like stub axle mounts I masked off or filed back the powdercoat but the backs where the stub axle bolts clamp up crack the coating.

Have seen a lot of people powder coat a lot of car parts for them to be disappointed 6 months later where its starting to crack and peel.
As its been pointed out above the matting surfaces need to be clean and threads need to be clear and the time that goes into that is crazy, no powder coater wants to sit finding bolts to go into threads, putting bungs into other holes or cutting heat proof tape to cover stuff.

They just want to blast and powder coat.
