Frayz cheers pal :thumb: OEM is the route I seem to have gone down and it works for me... Shiney bits under the bonnet do look great but when you start where does the wallet stop you so I decided on a budget clean up which I'm really pleased with, the plate is partly your fault as well :hjtwofing :D

Scott sent you a pm but I forgot to add the cleaning material... I used THIS on the engine bay and engine it's fantastic stuff also used it under the wheel arches. To clean alloy a little more to get some shine you need to brush it so I had a couple of stainless steel brushes a little larger than tooth brushes so it's a case of cleaning away.... info on that site about those as well I think.

In the future when I get a re-spray on the front bumper I'll be removing it for that job and the jets will be coming off and the holes filled ;) |

I used the same sti washer bottle when I did my FMIC. more space for the pipework. Used the exisiting motor from the old bottle and drilled a hole in the sti bottle and fed the washer jets into the bumper and re-routed them for intercooler sprays :smug:

pm sent
also noticed you have replaced alot of the old bolts and washers with new ones ... is there a set of some sort , or is it the case of taking each one to the motor shop and match up with new ones cheers phil |
B&Q 10mm bolts and washers worked on mine - looks OK and better than the rusty ones - course I know some might not agree with B&Q as a source :)
|
PM coming back your way Phil :thumb:
I got the bolts of fleabay.... mostly M6 and M8 st/steel allen cap heads, I simply removed one at a time to check the length and cut them down to suit. |
