lomoto Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 A friend of mine was looking at a division plate I bought, he is in the metal bending trade, reckons he can knock some of these up at the right price about £35.. any interest? only problem is he needs an order of 30+ to make it worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thats half the usual price folks. From what I've read, it diverts air into the radiator to allow better cooling. Please correct if the above is bullsh*t! I might be interested in this Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 I understood it that it put 10bhp on the engine If I can get say 10 commited buyers I'll have some made and stick the rest on Ebay to see if I can make a profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 so your saying buy keeping the radiator cooler which it already runs at a constant temperature due to the thermostat that your gonna gain 10bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzzz... Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 How long does anyone think the polished look will remain in an engine bay... unless you are looking after every week, it will be a nightmare to keep clean ... surely??? Spray paint it matt black to go with the rest of the engine bay... much more betterer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 i would be intrested if it also had these bits done as well, in my opinion looks a bit odd ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray paint it matt black to go with the rest of the engine bay... much more betterer.... The Zed engine bay is quite well 'sealed' and where it would be the is little to tarnish it. If you wiped it over when you cleaned the car I reckon it's stay looking pretty cool. What is it made from Tim? I don't want it so heavy my car starts handling like and Audi!
