Tommyd16 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What's the best way to tidy up the inlet manifold and metal parts like that? Good scrub and some VHT paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Three ways either swop the inlet and turbo top pipe work etc for polished ones that come on the for sale section every now and then OR take them off and have a go polishing them yourself ( messy job ) OR take them off and spray them with a colour you like best look IMO is stock silver there has been a few threads on here that people have done polishing and painting Cheers -Ian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 All depends on what look you want to go for. As said, either buy a polished set, remove and polish yourself (hardest option), or remove and paint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommyd16 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 For the time being I will just paint them silver until u can get some polished parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Its a slippery slope, I only wanted to tidy mine up as well, go for chrome, its easier to keep clean over polished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ive just give mine a tidy up, my thread is here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=302209 Engine bay overhaul (pic heavy) I'd say that it probably took me about 2 weeks in the equivalent of normal working day hours, 80 hours if you like, to get this far. I could've gone a lot further, it does get addictive! But I'm happy with mine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
