Drucey 10 Posted July 18, 2015 hi people, can anybody help me out with a place to go or d.i.y job of painting the chrome reflective part of the headlights, mine are both dull as the car is over 25 years old now. Has failed the mot this year and it really needs doing. Thanks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted July 18, 2015 there's a place in Birmingham I think that does rechroming of mgf plastic headlight reflectors, was discussed on here a while back, not cheap to get done though, but it's either that or second hand I think now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted July 18, 2015 Indeed. We've talked about this place more times than I can count over the last 6 or so years on here, but I've no idea if anyone has actually tried them yet! :) Waiting for the day my car fails the MOT for dull headlights but until then, hoping someone will try them and give some feedback! http://www.dual-metallising.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
