rtbiscuit Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 looking for a polished plenum if anyone has one Me too! Thread hijack I had considered using the guide to do it myself but it looks way too much work! get hold of a 2nd hand one and do it yourself then sell your old one on to the next person. i contemplated it and then decided not only would it be hard work to do, but you need to maintain it, which means the odd polish here and there to stop it tarnishing. with that in mind i bought a carbon plenum instead no polishing required Quote

Also does the strut bar still fit over it? Quote

scottsoulby Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 yeah, the engine cover still fits, all thats needed is some spacing under the strut, as the moulded spacer is quite large Quote

Cragus Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Ooooo, that is cheeky! I am getting more and more tempted on one of these! Quote
nrenz123 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I have a guy near me that polished the cover on my last car, ive been meaning to do mine for ages but just havent had the time. I could do with a spare aswell so that im not without a car, i think he did it for about £40 aswell. Quote
P15UL T Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 wowzers, £40 has to be the cheapest polished plenum ever Quote

nrenz123 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 As long as you let me kiss you On a serious note, that would be great An a side note the item i had polished was a cam cover from my fiat coupe I have the mot, new exhaust and 4 new tyres to pay for first though Quote
nrenz123 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Went to see the guys today, they said £25-£40 max to polish the plenum. Bargain! Quote
ChrisS Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Went to see the guys today, they said £25-£40 max to polish the plenum. Bargain! I smell a sort of Group Buy here !! A couple of spares required,and lots of work for your guys down there. Worth a thought ? Quote
nrenz123 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I dont mind dropping peoples plenums off if people want to send them to me. Quote
