wow pete - looking very shiny there
Any ideas on cost on each part? interested just for ref on the inlet manifold....
Was going to do it myself (not worried about totally chrome for mine - just shiny/polished as on a couple of other threads) but was told it was rough for a reason (cooling) although i seriously doubt it makes that much difference??

Only problem is I'll have to spend a good day on the engine bay getting it all cleaned up to show them off 
Pabs - I've bought the parts to polish over the last few months as I've seen them come up. I've asked the guy who did mine how much it would cost for just the manifold and he's quoted £75 inc the postage back etc.

Well I paid less than £75 but shhh
Been meaning to get the engine bits polished for ages, but as I can't have the car off the road for any time I had to collect the parts to polish up first. Just need to buy new gaskets and then fit them now

GLM yes, £45 for the manifold, same for engine cover I think, £20 for charge pipe, £20 for nitrous bottle, £10 for strut brace. GLM are very good, very fast turnaround too. You can see all my polished stuff on my gallery and some on GLM's site too:

Just bought some good polish to keep on top of it, when it arrives I'll be able to get rid of the remaining rouge that's in a few of the corners on the rocker cover.

Pete did you have that chromed or polished or both? Little bit worried about mine now as the fella said it was very difficult to get the polish in the gaps but it seems they have done yours a treat. Mines being polished in the main sections to get a nice smooth finish then chromed all over to match feels pipe. Mind you I have been thinking of getting the lot powder coated!
Just polished. You can't really chrome them well as they're alloy and the crome doesn't bond to it as well as steel.
HHHMMMMM now im worried! guy seemed to know what he was talking about. I was trying to say i wanted a polished finish but like a mirror. I will have to wait and see what its like. Any cahnce you could take a few pics when you cahnge yours over as a reference?
