ianphampton Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've seen a couple of other peoples engine bay improvements and want to get my plenum cover polished. From these other threads it seems it will need quite a bit of time to polish and I'd like to avoid having to take it off and put it back on 2 or 3 times whenever I wanted to use the car. To get round this I was going to buy another plenum cover from a breaker, polish it, then it's a single swap. (And if I time it right, probably get Abbey to do it at the same time as fit a spacer and a remap as well) I'm just concerned if there are different shapes / models in the plenum cover? I have a 2005 JDM import, and would hate to buy and polish something which then wouldn't fit on her. Can anyone else advise me, please?

DoubleDeuce1973 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I believe that Tarmac actually sells polished Plenums for a good price once you weigh up all the time, effort and cost to polish it yourself (and cost of a spare). viewtopic.php?f=166&t=47695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubei Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I've got a spare polished plenum that came with the car when i bought it a few months ago. I'll be putting it in the for sale section when i've reached enough posts. Or you could PM me direct if you're happy to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Darn, missed jubei post and bought a spare one from Nissan1st in Welshpool on Saturday, so I could polish it up. Already started with the wire brush and getting ready for the flap wheels - so, Thanks guys, but now I'll see how it progresses If I mess it up, I may come back to you, so, Thanks for the offer My carbon fibre engine cover arrived form the USA today, looks beautiful just out the box - hope it fits! I'm looking forward to matching the carbon fibre engine cover and the polished plenum - pictures will follow when it's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
