i've been a busy boy today. I've taken my fireblade engine out of my stuart taylor ready to buy a replacement because of the broken box.

Whilst its out i want to have my manifold and silencer chromed. Do u know anywhere near to chesterfield area or within 50 miles or so?? Or can i just buy a new shiny 1?

I also fancy some silicone hoses??

i'm thinkin of getting my replacement engine from AB performance. Is he any good??

cheers for ur help guys

beware of chroming on headers, as it can flake badly..

If its stainless, get a good polishing wheel for your drill and keep it chiny that way..

Cant help you with AB performance, not dealt with them..

Second that, I had one chromed, it looked the dogs for a week, then it started too come off, you could here it "ping" as it jumped off.
I went the exhaust wrap way, looks ok and does a job too.

Oh, AB, he's the dogs danglys too, you wont go wrong there.

because of the fact that the header expanse more then the chrome it start braking up..

and atleast it just fall off...
