I don't know exactly what you mean about the finish of the gearbox bracket. It's a normal OEM part...

I mean the finish of how it looks now, is it a brand new part or did you recondition it?

The bracket on my car is a mess so I want to get it back to OEM finish, the circled part is what I mean

Ah... it's the OEM part, but sandblasted.

Aaahhh I thought it had been painted or something like that, I want that look on all of my parts but past experience tells me it's not a good idea to keep them in bare blasted metal as they don't last very long & look very tatty after a very short time :-k

Yes, the bare aluminum will oxidize again and change the color again.
Painting have disadvantages with such parts but also disadvantages. The paint will flake off during assembly.
Then I prefer to clean the bare aluminum from time to time if necessary.
This clio will not see any rain anyway...

amazing restoration - nice work!
