As above been polishing my UIM. I chopped off all the extra bits and also the AWS which I wasn\'t sure if you could but thankfully you can. I have lost my finger print and the respect of my wife who now thinks im a loser lol.

you didn\'t have any AWS... Not on that UIM anyway! Double throttle?

I\'m just jealous cos mine looks like sh!t and I\'m too lazy to polish it!

That looks like some great work. Done a couple of these myself now so know how much time it takes, and i didnt even bother with the under side. :D

Thanks for the kind words gents, I did use a grinder, flap wheels and mops but done a lot of the fiddly bits with wet and dry.
Aubec you are right I did not have AWS but I had a big lump where it would be. It appears there are quite a few different UIM\'s. Unknown to me, some are flat some have the lump.




Thanks Ada7 and Leeincivic for the pics
