carbon dipping.
« on: 16 June 2012, 22:02 »
Getting all my bits together to have carbon dipped, parts so far include rocker cover, inlet manifold, expansion tank, cold air induction pipe, steering wheel cowling and battery cover.
has anyone else had this process done?

hopefully £130 but the guy said the 1.8t inlet manifolds are a b!tch to do correctly so maybe more.

This was my immediate thought...On the website they dipped a fiesta inlet mani!...Not that could generate much heat anyway  :grin: :laugh:

I don't mean to jinx you my friend, that absolutely seems like an awesome price for that amount of stuff. I'v already made up a list of a thing to do if yours go well  :laugh: :nerd:

Yes indeed that is a good price. I got quoted 140 pounds just for a spoiler at wicked coatings. I never bothered, was this expensive or not guys?
