It seems to be like the ole oil argument in that there's hugely mixed opinions on it, this here proves it http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/136454-galvanizing-a-rear-subframeanyone-ever-done-it/page__hl__%20galvanizing%20%20subframe. I can safely say mine hasn't warped but that doesn't mean...

Hi, I'm just near the end of fitting mine, I got it sand blasted and then galvanized, seems OK any decent trailer/caravan on the road has it done with no signs of rust, quite cheap to get done too (€30 for galvanizing). Just make sure if you have any bits like exhaust hangers that may need welding o...

No nothing noticeable, I've gone around and given everything a good shake and nothing.

Im hearing mixed opinion on the halfords stuff but thats for another day, Im living in the city and don't use the car much, it's an MPI model. Thanks for all your help!
