Well after the purchase of the cooling panel from the group buy several months back, I decided that I wanted one mirror polished... I know this could have been done with my existing one but organised to get one made up
 There is a group buy going on for these on CCUK but the guy who made them will be putting them on ebay for general sale and said that he will ship internationally for you guys He also produces the radiator bracket covers as shown in the pics I will post the ebay link when he puts them on sale for anyone that wants them. Price is around £40 + p&p which I think is really good. This should make your engine bays sparkle The engine bay has changed a little. From this  To this

Your right, it'll be about $100, maybe a little more
I used a Dremel 518 Abrasive Point, a 516 would do also. 422 Felt Polishing Point or 429 Polishing wheels are good for using with the autosol. Autosol is a very good metal polish. I'd say just give it go, have a play and see which you feel work best. Trial and error is essential  Have a go on something that doesn't matter first I've also used 511 Abrasive Buffs which do a good job too although they wear out really quick when wanting to do a large area -------------------- www.celica-club.co.uk
