Title: Re chroming Plastic I Finally Found A Company
Post by: Shizzle on 05 November 2013, 12:02
After ringing many companies this morning i finally found 1 who can re chrome any plastic.

Some companies only do ABS plastic but this company can chrome effect anything they quoted me £100 + VAT For 2 headlight inserts(chromed from factory not ABS plastic) i don't think this is a bad price if it was small trim pieces could imagine the price being a lot lower.

Just thought i would let you know  :rolleyes:.

Why not just buy a new set of headlights? They can be had for less than half that...
