Polished/chromed plenium
Here is what Zedwizz sent me when i asked him :) Here is a quick guide for you. To polish the plenum you will need to remove it from the engine. To hold it while I polished it I made up a ‘T’ shaped jig out of a piece of wood so I could screw the plenum to it and clamp the wooden jig to a bench. It also makes it a good height to work on. I can take some picture of the wooden jig if you need. Next I used a 6-inch sanding disc (120 grit) to quickly take out most of the flashing and casting mismatch. I have something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-In-1-CAR-POL...item1c15b7747e Mine came with a 6” Velcro pad, which can take 6” Velcro backed sanding, discs like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SANDING-DISCS-...item2ea8a6a9c8 The 6-inch disc can be used to get most of the flat surfaces and makes short work of the dimpled affect also you can make sure everything is kept nice and flat. Some people use a smaller disc but you will end up with lumps and bumps, which show up when you get to the final polishing stage. Next I used a die grinder like this with and 2 inch sanding disk to get in all the nooks and cranes http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PROFESSIONAL-1...item2c5485acb2 Then it is down to sand paper and finger power. Once you have all of the plenum smoothed down to 120 grit use wet and dry in every finer grades and water with a little drop of washing up liquid in. When the plenum gets a dull shine to it its time to get out the mops. I brought this kit http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.a...ts&subCatID=49 All you will need is an electric drill and loads of time lol. Start with the course mops first and work your way to the cloth ones. Don’t use to much soap at once. Hope this helps.

Anyone fitted one of these 99 spec front bumper
Just seen them on ebay and was after more pics but he hasnt got any but says 2 forum members have fitted them and are happy. I doubt he will give me the members names to verify so i wondered if it is anyone on here? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330508748998&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Marty

dodgy email about my breaker
Ok so i put my breaker on Gumtree for parts and i got an email off a guy wanting to buy the complete thing so i emailed him saying that was possible and then was asked for a price without him even knowing what was left. I said a very reasonable £1000 then i got this email Hello Mate, Thanks for the mail, the price is affordable, so i want you to get back to me with your paypal email account or your bank details, so that i can proceed with the payment as soon as you get back to me with the details. Thanks and i await your fast response. Lennie. I then thought hold on you dont even know what the car looks like and what is left on it. Then after emailing pics, telling him what was left and asking for a quick response as i had buying waiting for parts i then got the same email today TWICE which may be a mis click but is a simple cut and paste of above. Emails have now turned to abuse as i called him a lunatic and advised if he wanted a zed he should get a PS3 with GT5. Seems to me like a scammer after account details however his name is Lennie Brandy if anyone comes across him marty

ebay tosspot
Nah cos you have to pay to set a reserve and if he hasnt done so then that isnt how ebay works in my understanding. Id email him saying that he either takes your payment and sends the item or lets ebay deal with the dispute as you clearly won the item :)
