Hi Paul
Chrome got as very reasonable, considering some of the quotes just for the front bumper we over ?400 ! It was done by ray at chromeworld in Kent/Essex, to see the difference is amazing, very pleased and somebits that I thought might not be good enough have come back Beautifull, I don't rechrome the rear bumper as it looked like it already had been done, and a couple of other bits I decided to buy new, but what I did have done came to just over ?700 would have been just over ?1k if I'd sent everything but in my opinion it's money well worth spending, on my last project I thought the chrome was acceptable with small putting seeing this with its amazing shine I realise it wasn't
Your more than welcome to come down and take a look, the car is in my factory, and the interior is above my office, and all the chrome electrics, and dash etc is at home
I have a huge list of parts that I want to replace, added up roughly last night was over ?2k and i don't think the list Is complete yet !
I'm quite lucky as I have my own company that employs a few people, so like today I decided to spray the primer, I got he guys to cover everything, and clean the place down ready then I kicked them outside to do what they wanted for the last hour and painted the car I got a guy who hurt his hand so he will prob come in and halo me sand the primer, his been bugging me to let him help
