Hey guys, really need to get my front over-riders blasted and re-plated (hardly any chrome left on them) can anyone recommend somewhere that can do the job?
Prefer somewhere one of you has a had a good personal experiance with.
Should be ok posting them.
Many thanks in advance, Mick.

Is Peterborough too far? The chromers on the industrial estate is amazing, 64Impala got a load of his lolo bits done there and was very impressed, I believe.

Derby Chrome Platers in, erm, Derby. Not used them but have seen their work. Very good. You pay for it though...

Yeah, same with the place in Peterborough - not cheap. But are there any good platers that are?

How much is the going rate for a bumper? Getting one for the T3, can either get a flaky one that's been painted over for nice and cheap, or a nice german 95% perfect chrome one for lots and lots. If it works out cheaper I'd rather have the cheap one and get it chromed, as then it'll be 100%  |

IIRC a Stag bumper was £450 and that was a few years ago.

It'll be pricey but the more you do the cheaper it is. I have no idea about straightening though Mike, sorry dude. I think this is them - www.peterboroughplating.co.ukLoving the acid house-type music on the start page |

marquerestore in Coventry are supposed to be very good, I'm hoping to get my Sapporo bumpers done there shortly. There was a lovely standard Karmen Ghia in VolksWorld DEC 06 which had all the chrome done by them and it looked fantastic.
