Ooh...this looks good for avoiding fishing around in used oil

They\'re very good - I bought one a year or so ago and it makes oil changes so much easier/nicer.

I got one of them oil drain plug valve things :) there\'s a post around this forum for them somewhere. All you have to do is move a valve and out comes the oil.

I\'m just going for plain stuff for the engine, viton is black so nothing colourful there...tho might see if i can get bits powder coated!

Just like to say Frost are spot on!

I\'ve been buying my polishing kits and supplies from them for a while now and no complaints! Very reasonable prices and fast delivery :)

To date i\'ve polished 3 sets of wheels, the intake manifold, my induction hard pipes, SMIC hard pipes, alternator and a few more bits and bobs!

Really fancy giving the anodising kit a blast - winter project me thinks ;)

to be honest i wouldnt go to the trouble and time of doing it yourself although it is more rewarding i\'d just take the bits down to a local polishers.

thats what i did, i had just about every part under the bonnet polished for £120 so it aint worth the effort involved.

Fair one but u do save yourself £120 to buy something else shiny.:Giggle
D2BBA let me no if you get one of those anodising kits it will be interesting to see how good they r.
