    The cap is anodised so you will need to bead blast it first.

            I've got a polished WG cap, I actually prefer a stock one if in good nick..

            The nuts are M4 flange nuts.

            What size are those nuts?
            Nothing in my box of random nuts fits!

            Jas,

            I've just polished my cam cover and the wastegate cap is next. I've used a dremmel with a polishing tool and some AG metal polish. Will let you know if it comes up nice.
