Moley I will have to find out a price and how long its going to take, the place is in Englandshire but dont know any details yet, I'm going to ask my boss tomorrow and see what he says !!

But if it takes to long or is to much £££££ then I wont be doing it, Wish I thought of this earlier in the year when I was not using the car because I would not have minded if it took a few weeks for the turn around Confusedmoke:

Chroming is a bit of a job, unless there being electro plated by hand, but even that takes quite a bit of time and doesn't give the best of finishes compared to being chrome dipped, will look very good if you can though mate:thumbup1::thumbup1:

I could do them mate, its just hoping they don't get lost in the post as that could cause a few problems :Shooting:

from what i know mate, stainless has to be acid stripped so the chrome plating can attach to the metal itself? you can electroplate it with a kit but it's not as good plating and has a tendency to flaking Smile you could always have them gold electroplated Confusedmoke:

Your probably just better off getting them polished mate, should be a lot cheaper than plating and still look as good :thumbup1:
