Fuel rails
I would like to get the fuel rails redone on my C4 .What is the way to go? |Is it a nickle plate or chrome and is there any special precaution when having these redone? ie plating flaking off internally. Mike

The fuel rails should be chrome plated. Just make sure that the plater knows that the sealing surfaces for the banjo bolts should be flat. Sometimes they polish the crap out of the surface in order to remove all of the imperfections with no regard for critical sealing areas.
On early fuel rails with threaded connections (which a C4 doesn't have) it is important to have them mask off the threads. I have seen many rails where the threads have been plated and polished to the point of being unusable.
