No idea, but saving over £130 by going direct is not to be sniffed at! 
Thanks h17och - really need them bud!

Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
(...) along with the modified Audi R8 oil cap!
I wonder what modifications they've done. Mine (not from Awesome) fits, but it's too high/tall.
Comparison pic.
Can't afford anything else Bill, so am trying to make the best of what's on offer within my very limited budget.

Pic it this thread shows the type of spanner needed, 12mm open-ended S-shaped, the spanner needs to come outwards then upwards with the head flat against the manifold flange - make sense?

I wish I had a blowtorch and vise, I'd make my own, but I don't so can't!
I've asked Zircotec and Camcoat about having the TIG manifold coated, Camcoat want £105 + VAT for a satin black coating, coated on the inside and outside, sounds like a good deal to me. Zircotec want £300 for an outside coating only. Less heat will get to the welds on the manifold so hopefully that means less chance of cracking.

Can't you get a stubby spanner, or a flip head ratchet on the nuts either, Rob?
Out of interest, when Cupra Matt took his off, he took all the studs out and used cap (hex) head screws to mount the manifold. I meant to do that last time........

Nothing! Even with the bent spanner I reckon all you'll get it a 1/4 turn at most on one side of the nut!
I read that using bolts instead of studs is a VERY bad idea, plus trying to get a hex socket adapter in there would be even harder than just a spanner.
There is TONS of room around the tubular manifold nuts - so this problem will never happen again!

Camcoat vs zircotek coatings are worlds apart in durability and function Rob
Camcoat is a cheaper option as its a cheaper, thinner coating and not so durable.
Interesting guy @ tig-art will deal direct now. guess some prior arrangement is now not functional.
Yes, will be going Zircotec, they've quoted me £228 + VAT to do my manifold, 3-year guarantee against flaking off. I knew they were the best and their quote came in better than I thought.
TIG-ART responded straight away, were happy to help and had stock ready to ship, 500 Euros to my door (£393). JBS were never even mentioned by them or me.

Is that serious? lol if it is. Theyre saying 899 Euros on the site as well, wonder how much the T25 flanged RHD mani would be.
899 is for the equal length which they don't do any more. Guy Levintin responded in my email and said:
"We have a new, different design for the super-stock manifolds. I've attached a picture of our new K03 super stock design, which we can offer you in 500 Euros shipped to Scotland."

Ahh, so the stock one is the non-equal length version, but its not on the website?
Wonder if theres going to be any movement in price for the RHD equal length one.

Std price from Zircotek.. mine cost the same..
downpipe was charged at £45/foot+vat
Its a great product
They do NOT make the equal length one anymore, this is the only super-stock one they do now!!! I already said that!!!
