Can anyone recommend a firm who do "carbon Fibre" effect coating on the speed six air box and what sort of cost is involved? also when this is done is it only coated on the outside (just thinking if it was in the inside too bits could be sucked into the engine)?.

I'm also considering removing the fuel rail to get it powder coated, anything to be aware of if doing this?

Thanks
Richard

Perhaps you need to think about having it hydro dipped ratehr than a stick on plastic film.

Hi just chipping in to let you know my Cerbera box and filter cover is currently away having this done at a place in Coventry

http://www.carbonfibremagic.co.uk/Contact-us.php#....

I popped in unannounced to see and meet the owner. "Owen" was a very straight up guy and his work there leaves me very excited. I budgeted £150 but I'll be able to take the wife out for a meal at TGIs with the change wink

Richard with regards to the alloy fuel rail we found when powder coating aluminium boxes for work we had to phosphate coat first to stop oxidation under the powder coat
