Glad the site is back up and running :compress:

 

Does anyone know anywhere in the U.K. that will turn my Alloys into nice chromed ones :wink: Seems to be loads of places in the US but not any here.

Hey ROADHOG!

 

Firstly do you want them actually chroming or mirror polishing?

 

The result is quite similar.

 

Chroming- This is a coating on top of the alloy.

 

Polishing- This is when the laquer and paint from th alloy is taken off and the bare metal is polished to a mirror finish.

 

Both have their pro's and con's too.

 

But a guy that does both is Jeff Seddon (owner of B16 DUB)contact

 

HTH

I'm certainly interested, I think chrome on cars is realy good. They don't seem to do it any more, it's all plastic now :(

 

:fadein: *ROADHOG remembers the days of his old Mk1 Capri*mmmmm

 

It's not something I'm gonna get done in a rush due to money and the organisation but I certainly want to get it done :D So please give me a quote and we will take it from there.

the polishing is gonna be around £50 per wheel for polishing and laquering...
