Thats it for shiney stuff, i promise......;)
Very nice. The oil cap looks great and i am sure the pot will scrub up well. Look forward to seeing them fitted :smokin:
Nice some more shinny bits :agree:
A better pic of my new oil cap :D
I know gttuning made some shit in their day but i have to admit this ninja cap is a work of cnc art.
I know its only an oil cap and a dress up piece at that, but im well pleased with it.
First non o.e+ modification :crap:

Does look a cracking piece of work.
Finish looks spot on to..... will look very at home on yours then :smokin:
Nice can't wait to get mine through the post :agree:
Oh how i love metal polishing....:sad2:
Swirl Pot mid polish.
I've flatted out the worst of the scratches leaving just two small marks to tease out.
Very very time consuming and boring!

Very nice jonny.I do like the oil cap.Should have put my name down.
I want that swirl pot as shiny as your new oil filler cap ;)
Having seen the cracking job you are doing on these parts, I have got myself a kit to shine up some of the alu parts I have as well. Keep up the good work:agree:
Thank you :niceone:
I just use two types of polishing wheel in a cordless drill, with a couple of types of polishing compound that came with the kit and then finished off with autosol by hand.
If you're willing to put the time in the outcome can be very rewarding.
This is getting silly now......:crap:

Hold on, it got silly a while ago! :laugh:
I bet u bought the inter cooler chrome Bracket on eBay too
That really is the last bit. I mean that :)
I think i have a nice balance now.
Nice one. There's plenty off people with the opinion that chrome don't get you home, but it sure looks nice in my opinion. I'll be adding a few more blingy bits to my engine bay soon, most won't be seen but what the heck :D

Thanks for the polished up pic :agree:
I have printed and framed it. It's now on my living room wall ;)
But genuinely, great job!
Liking that oil cap. :agree:
I've found WD40 and a rag cleans up silicone hoses a treat! :cool:
Top work on that degassing pot. :)
So i finally managed to get round to picking the Polished Alternator up from Mr Smiths tonight and im really pleased with the final outcome, thank you mate :niceone:
I just have the fan and spacers etc to paint tomorrow and ill be fitting it at the end of the week all being well.
So me being me, i started to give it a quick once over with the machine polisher as soon as i got home.
Quick sneaky picture below after a basic test polish :)
