neodc Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hey guys. just got back from a metal polishing place in notts called 'impact metal finishings', the chap there spent 3-4 hours on my plenum, for 40 quid the end result was this... he said that'd be the price if anyone gave him a call. Impact Metal Finishing 23 Meadow Road Netherfield Nottingham NG4 2FR Nottinghamshire Tel: 0115 9879302 I think a carbon order is in need... Dave x Quote
martinmac Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 That is an amazing price and he has done a very good job. Well found Quote
neodc Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 cheers, they also chrome most things, to do the whole strut brace was 50 quid to chrome it with a 1 week turnaround, they also shot blast wheels for 15 quid each, and chrome them for 50, really good job. he said to shot blast that plenum it'd be like 10-15 quid. but i wanted it shiny !

sunset350z Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Thats a brilliant price but i cant see the pics. How did they polish it so quick? The first company who did mine took all day and didn't do a thorough job, and the second company took 5 hrs to finish it!!! Quote
sunset350z Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Got the pics up now, i noticed they didn't do inside the bolt recesses, but otherwise a nice job. Quote
M350ZB Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Cracking price bud, and looks prett sweet , is it polished in the bolt bits or is it the camera pic ? Quote
srobrien Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hey looks is the throttle body polished too? R Quote
Beavis Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 looks great and cracking price +1 Looks great for the money. Just one thing that worries me is why have you put a little kiss at the bottom of your first post? Quote
mwalker56 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Just one thing that worries me is why have you put a little kiss at the bottom of your first post? +1 Maybe he's just friendly or perhaps address the Nixy/Cara type members of the forum! Quote
M350ZB Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hey looks is the throttle body polished too? R +1, sort of looks polished ? ? ? Quote
NWZ Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Looks great! Just nice a polished cai to finish it off now x Quote
Chris`I Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Very nice mate. That hourly rate is very good! Very good value for money. Quote
Cara Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Just one thing that worries me is why have you put a little kiss at the bottom of your first post? +1 Maybe he's just friendly or perhaps address the Nixy/Cara type members of the forum! I have to say i didn't even notice the 'x' until pointed out by Beavis, well spotted! Perhaps a Saturday afternoon beverage had been consumed That is a brilliant price for the work Quote
shire350Z Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 thats a spot on price!!! wonder what else could be done Quote
neodc Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 yeah, thanks for the nice replys guys. erm, this chap is a 1 man polishing machine. hes got a factory with about 5 big machines in all for different purposes, he normally does hand rails, and bits for minis, whole engines etc. but he offers a pop in for a coffee on a saturday for car people, you sit around or watch a movie in ya car, while he just leans the plenum on a belt driven polisher, with various grades of grit. Its not perfect, he didnt do in the holes as far as he said he could, but i think spending 4 hours on something for 40 quid is very good. he wasnt happy that the throttle body looked a bit rough, so he just worked on that for 10 minutes. The holes in the plenum are something i can do though with a dremell and their polishing end. seems to be tidying those up with nicely. hopefully some people around notts will go to him as hes a sound chap. oh, and the 'x' at the end of my first post was my gf, i was playing on the xbox and reading out what for her to write. it was her addition.

sunset350z Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Very talented guy, he's done a great job on that. It took me all week, 2 different companies and cost twice the price to get a decent job done. Will have to find a better polisher thats for sure. Quote
neodc Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 yeah, you have to give him a call in the week and arrange it for a weekend. Quote
M350ZB Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Gonna give him a call too, allthough gonna have to source a plenum to send up to him or something, bit of a trek for me quality price though Quote
