I am, as I write and curs(or), having my intake blocks replaced. This AM the intake manifolds were taken over to be bead-blasted and silver powder coated. They will be back tomorrow AM and the car should be running by the PM.

Will let you know how it turns out.

The problem of discoloration has been a bone of contention with me since the car was new. Now I have an excuse to have it rectified. (Was also seriously considering White, but decided to make it near as original as possible with the silver).

: Need some advise. When I picked up my 850 CSi on Jan. 20th, I noticed the plenum was a little discolored (kind of a golden haze) towards the front of the engine (by the throttle bodies). As of yesterday (and some VERY hard driving) the golden color has spread out to cover the entire plenum (although not as pronounced as the front, which has gotten worse). I have had the car washed several times at one of those professional places, but I know that they didn’t open the hood.

: Any ideas as to what could be causing this?? Should I be worried?

: Thanks in advance!!
