Solid fabs here too. Admittedly I'm 4th gen not 5th, but FYI, the build is gorgeous, sounds lovely, obvious gains and £500 built from a jig. (They didn't need my car) Needed to notch the subframe, but as I say that's all in relation to a 4g of course.

Ceramic coat when funds allow @Mercutio. I don't really want to put anything on it (it's too beautiful), but ceramic coating should preserve it the most.

I think you need to get it wrapped I don't know about the coating but because the pipes are quite high you will find the heat will burn the paint on the rocker cover :lol: that's if yours is anything like mine
