i know where these are for sale, they havnt been fit to a car as they were done for a mk1 golf and then the money bags owner changed their mind and went down the 3.2 route. its the bam engine manifold ive checked that ie throttle boddie on the right. they really do look good as anyone got any picis of their S3 with chromed manifold and pipe, i think im going to make a cheeky bid.

Pics tomoro, its too dark now lol. I stripped the grey coating with nitromors then used a wire drill attachment followed by some cutting compound and a buffer attachment.
i dropped my intlet manifold, charge pipe, rocker cover and throttle body off to be mirror polished today.
cant wait to get them back.
theres a lad selling them on pistonheads for £180, but you have to send him your unpolished bits in return

vince was doing mine, £150 i offered and he said yeh, but for me to post my bits to him would be £30ish
so went to the local metal polisher who is doing the whole lot for £100, he showed me pics of stuff he's done before, and was midway through doing a manifold which looked amazing.
last year he polished a set of wheels for me very cheap!

Yep thats what he told me, i was worried about the TB too, and condition of the other bits, thats why im just having my own stuff polished. Saved myself alot of money this way too.
Cant you find a local polisher and go in for a price?
