Walnut blasting damaged the valves?

I have been quoted £200 for walnut blasting.

My 156 RCZ has done 65k miles and I am considering getting the inlet valves walnut blasted as I heard that they can get clogged with carbon. I dont seem to have any issues at the moment, but is it worth doing and will I notice the difference? Next month I might get the engine remapped.

It’s whatever it’s worth to the individual.

Price now dropped to £400.

Thanks. I just checked and it would cost about £50 to wrap in bubble wrap, cardboard and ship within the UK.

Yes all the body kit is made by Maxtron. 👍 Very easy to fit. The Exhaust is a Duplex and the sound hasn't changed much, but I think dual exits look far better on these cars. I also have wheel spacers fitted 15mm up front and 20mm at the rear, that help fill the arches out nicely.

Fully refurbished and never been fitted alloy wheels. I also have a set of chromed wheel bolts and locking nuts that I will thrown in for free. I am located in Stafford just off junction 13 of the M6 but work in Hams Hall Birmingham and can take them there if its closer for you. £450 payed...

Thanks, I will get some better pictures when I get home and get them in the for sale section.

I just had my set of 4 spare alloys refurbed and freshly powder coated gloss black with a view to selling them on to recover some of my recent spend. I dont want to go through a bidding war on ebay, so what would be a fair price to ask for them?

Does anyone know where I can buy these side stripes from?

Still a few bits to do in black once I figure how to remove the last bit of chrome front trim. May also do the wing mirror caps in gloss black,

Is it worth fitting one to the 156? If so which oil catch can do you recommend and can anyone tell me where and hot I fit one? Thanks.

The seats seem to be a very dark grey to me. Was there a shade of anthracite or or asphalt? They dont seem dark enough to be black?

I want to try and repair the drivers seat bolster. Can anyone please tell me what the leather colour code or name is. Its not a light grey like the other seats I keep seeing on the forum.
