I had my rocker cover polished and it looked ok, didn't come up like chrome though, then without regular polishing it went manky quite quickly.

Powder coating is the way forward :lol:

u2u me if anyone wants a powder coated rocker cover, stainless plug cover, battery cover......

I have noticed there is not a great deal of polished parts avaliable for the corsa so i took this job into my own hands, over the last couple of days i have been hand polishing parts of my engine bay, so far the rocker cover and air flow meter on my GSI.
I take out all the imperfections in the metal so it is as smooth as glass and then polish it up, I have quite enjoyed this for some strange reason, rocker cover took me 6 hours, air flow meter took 5 hours (lots of rough edges and auwkward corners)
Just wondered if it was worth me producing polished parts and selling them on an exchange basis??????
Just an idea:thumbs:
