Me too mate, Si's doing an amazing job there.
I did have these powdercoated but just didnt like the finish, so stripped them back to get them anodised...
Then Si planted the polishing seed and there you go... no im tempted to send him more stuff haha. Great job mate. Thanks for the help

The large K&N cone will protrude into this box and the cold air will directed around the filter.
Hope that helps

Here we go chaps the rails are finished... for a DIY job in my shed I'm very pleased with the results, alloy is such a soft material and with the rails having flat surfaces it is difficult to get a finish like e.g. stainless would give you but they do bufty up well 
Frayz kid gloves with these because they will mark easy but when fitted there is no need to handle them again and they will look mint
What else have you got then ?

Stunning polish job Si, now i wish I had made them prettier than I did.
My compressor cover was polished by Garrett but its nowhere near like how you've done the rails. Thanks a load mate.
Few polished bits here and there with the matte black and red manifold shouls really add nicely to the finished motor.

Cheers guys, I'm very pleased with the results here.... There is a stage which a pro polisher may have done to help with a mirror finish but that's not possible for me but overall I'm well pleased and it's not even my car lol hopefully that will encourage Frayz to clean even more lmao

Not my pics and I haven't been on a proper computer to upload em on my Nasioc thread.
My friend Simon convinced me to have them polished and he single handedly did all the work on them.
I can't wait to see them on the motor

I'm away this week mate so nothing to update I'm afraid. I have a new template for the wing box that need finalising and then proto 3 will be made next week.
Proto 3 will be basically exactly what the finished article will be... I hope. Get that fitted and get the power steering pipes modified. Then, dare I say, we can drop the motor back in.
Exciting eh?

Not much to update at the mo guys as im waiting on a couple of parts before i can progress. Nothing major, just some fittings and hoses etc.
Also should have proto 3 of the wingsert made this week. This one should be almost bang on the final design providing there are no fitment issues. Its much easier for me to mess about getting it right before the motor gets dropped back in. Then believe it or not we can look to get the motor dropped back in. Im getting quite excited now its all looming closer.
