Default EGR detailing mod

Take some 1500 grit sand paper, then 2000 grit and follow up with some good metal polish and hit the the actual EGR valve.

Close up view..

The next photo shows my polished fuel rail too but I got that one from here.

Ignore the yellow STB, that will be gone very soon!

Back for a second look, nice detail! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

"Take some 1500 grit sand paper, then 2000 grit and follow up with some good metal polish"

Is this how you did your fuel rail and ABS lines?

Damn that is one perfect shine, looks chromed. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Did you do the same with the bolts?

Nice work,

Todd
