Err, take to a company who can chrome/polish it?

Sorry if that sounds flipant but it seems pretty obvious?!

Google/check yellow pages to find a suitable firm close to where you live.

DIY mate!!! saves a load of dosh.

Get some 600 grit and 1000 grit sanding paper (wet and dry, ********* for 7 or 8 quid), a sanding block, AUTOSOL and 2 rags.

Take the manifold off, get a tub and fill it with warm soapy water (fairy liquid will do) sand it with the 600 grit till it feels nice and smooth, then go at it with the 1000 grit till its like a shiny babys rear then use rag #1 to apply autosol then rag #2 to polish it off.

Hey presto - your very own bragging rights and a shiny inlet manifold :P

go and buy a cheap da sander from a discount diy place, the sort that takes the round sanding discs with the velcro backing. you should be able to pick up one for a tenner or so. this will sand up the flatter areas in a fraction of the time it will take you to do it by hand. just dont inhale the dust that comes off, as it causes all sorts of bad ailments later in life, so buy some face masks as well.
