or just get it pro polished its like 30 quid!!, proberly less then the price of all the sand paper and wire wool lol
looks nice tho, id recommend using a high temp laquer to keep the shine, or it will just get pitted and go dull again

abit too much chrome for me, but looks nice and clean. where did you get the manifold done? or did you do it yourself?
