I'm getting ready to do mine but I'm in 2 minds, do I go for red, STI style, or do I go black. I already have blue hoses and I'm going to paint my intercooler pipework black - if I go red I'll leave the blue hoses, but if I go black I'll eventually change all the hoses to red starting with the intercooler ones when I paint the pipes

How much power does the milk carton add, Steve?
Richie Wong has some alloy brake and clutch reservoir caps that I think he may be selling, add some extra bling.

I used this guide when I did my polishing - you can get the kits cheap on ebay and they work okay

Too many litle imporfections in it steve for me to polish it i have serious ocd,and its impossible to get in all the tight bits so i'd never be happy with it.
So far this bloody mani has had roughlt 60 hours spent on it lol.
As steve said there is no real gain to changing the stock inlet mani bit it does look **** loads better.
Thats why i went for the spec-c mani being 1 piece looks loads neater,probably splitting farts but every little helps when your trying to extract every last fookin horse out lmao.
