I have no idea then guys as it works for me.
On a different note i actually did a bit of polishing myself today. Not the best piece i\'ve ever done but it\'ll look at considering how much will be on show. Is the water filler neck

If you can get hold of a bench grinder then buy an abrasive and polishing kit form the polishing shop on ebay for about £50. Its then just down to how much time you can spend doing each bit.
I\'ve done al mine myself and although it wont win any awards, its good enough for that wow factor when you open the bonnet :D

My plenum took me the best part of 2 days as i did a lot of the hard to get to bits by hand with grades of paper.
Never tried the alternator, is my next thing to do :D
I like your fuse boxes. Did you just spray paint them?

Ha ha i know what you mean. You can get smaller pieces doen for about £35 each. A think the plenum would be a bit more.
