I don't see corrosion going to be a problem on a cast manifold. It might not last forever though. Ceramic coating would be permanent though.Quote:

He's good like that!
Had some spare time today so i decided to fix the boonet release cable which had been getting worse ever since I installed the wideband. After spending an hour taking trim off and removing the windscreen cowling i discovered the cable had simply come off it's clip. What was really fustrating was that i could have accessed it without even taking anything apart :facepalm:. Then I got bored so I decided to do some sticker bombing

The Sticker bombing looks great. Going to do the inside of the hood or anything like that?
