rixy 0 Posted February 24, 2006 got mine done by a chap on club gti website, charged me 100.00 for mirror finish on vr manifold and rocker cover, including return postage. Recieved them back yesterday, they are absolutely mint, look awesome! Is it ok to run plug leads under manifold as someone asked in another thread? Will look better as i still got standard leads?

dazzyvr6 0 Posted February 24, 2006 should be ok,to fit shrick manifolds the plug leads have to go underneath..£100 is a good price to polish the manifold and rocker cover,i did my own and it realy is a horrible job and time consuming to do it right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
