Chrome Plating Plastic ?

Time scale - going to take a few months.

Cost - hopefully less than plating, covering or painting but certainly more durable.

Anyway, I'm going to look into it - I have a couple of good spare pairs here to send out as samples.

I'm already in touch with two production companies.

One of them did these seat hinges for me which I think look the dogs' !

Spoke to a guy at this company a few years ago he was willing to have a look at what was required unfortunately he has now sold the company.But I didn't know that until I rang the number I had stored today.
Spoke to another guy he thinks theres a possibility they might do the rear light bezels but they don't do 1 offs ,mentioned that I'm in a car club and theres quite a few 0f us need these doing but we need to get a list and numbers :)

He did say it wasn't down to him to say yes or no :( But he gave me the name of the lady in charge who has took over the company told me to ring her on Monday we can hope:) Not looking to take over this thread just try to help;)

Please ad to list so i can tell them how many the more the better :thumbs:

I would be interested too :)

Does anyone know if the blem rear lights are the same design as the originals? I was just wondering if we could collectively contact the manufacturer of those and get a group buy on the bits...?

Hi Sean - Happy New year to you ! Spoke with Geoff R last night and we considering getting a spare pair of bezels chrome painted just to see how they look Wondering if you'd given the re-manufacturing of bezels any more thought which is undoubtedly the best option subject to cost?

Hi all,

Are the front indicators mounted above the & on the bumper made of this same plastic type material?

Thanks

A recent Car S.O.S. episode shows them getting some plastic parts ‘silvered’ using the silver nitrate method discussed before. Great results.

But that still makes them $90 before any other costs :(

Thread revival.. as I'm going down the same route and calling the same companies!

@ZedzDead did you end up going with any of these in the end?

@SeanDezart I presume the stainless part production didn't go anywhere?
