Sarnie Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 that looks amazing expensive? a bit expensive ..yes.. but they had to grind back all the rough casting before the polishing process .. cost £60 all in.. but a real mirror finish.. just got to wait until the Kinetix melts and I'll put it on Didn't see this before for 60 notes that's a bargain Do you think so Dorian? I thought it was enough money at that mind you I do send him quite a bit of other work as well on motorcycle bits It looks ace mate, I want one Quote

lomoto Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 So you are gonna install a transparent bonnet now? maybe a carbon fibre one like this.... Quote
stevie_350z Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Hmmm... wonder what that would look like on a Kuro... it reminds me of the bonnet I saw on an RS6 recently - made it look like something out of batman... gothic/evil. Quote

Mathys Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 How long did it take them to polish the plenum as you can't drive without one? Quote
lomoto Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 How long did it take them to polish the plenum as you can't drive without one? 7 day turnround, but like Sarnie says I have another plenum Quote

lomoto Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Very nice indeed. I think I'll just stick with the kinetix one.... if it ever comes! yes I'll stick with my Kinetix, but nice to have a spare polished plenum to replace it with when the time comes Quote
