Polished BBK TB?

I'd like to polish my BBK 58mm TB but I was told that the metal was too soft. Anyone in here try it? Thanks in advance!

I was able to see the link, I just cut and pasted it on another browser and it worked. Looked good! The reason I was asking is because I heard that the BBK TB's are made out of a softer metal than the factory one and therefore was difficult to polish.

Really, thats interesting, I figured that they would all be very close to the same spec. That would make some difference.

I wanted to look at your car but your site is not working when I push the web button.
