ToffeeRado, ? What do you use to protect the polished surfaces eg manifold, cooler, alternator from corrosion? Can they be sprayed with lacquer or something? Otherwise i would imagine that the shine would disappear quite rpidly after installation?

Lets see my gearbox in my g60 has been sitting outside almost 2 years still shiny, it stays shiny for a while, it wont get dull and loose refection that's for sure and if does I don't think spending 2 minutes with a cloth and good polish is that big of a hassle.

Looks great, cant wait to see it up and running! Is it just me or are your front wheels sitting really far under the arches? Are you going to be running different wheels?

It because I have Vr fender and g60 suspenion so i can run my 9x16's Brocks off toffee or any wider wheel easier with out having to mod fenders.

Taillight are FK all clear smoked but I smoked the bottom half my self only set in the world like it I think lol

Jepers D with all that polishing I'm surprised you still have any fingers!

 

Loving the smoothed VR6 intakes they reall clean up the bay on their own!

 

However would have thought you'd have finished this twice over by now! ;)

Looking damn good matey! 8)

 

Have you thought about shaving the third brake light - kinda spoils the rear IMO...
