Rechroming Plastic

Yes, I know its actually Vacuum something or other but has anyone had it done?

I bought some new side vents from another forum member and did one side, I asked SWMBO which side she preferred and she said the original even with the white side repeater, I also fitted a smoked one the "new" side - I have posted some pics elsewhere ont' forum.

However before I change back - and I will Whistle because you all know how life is. The coating on the original grills has bubbled over time and needs redoing (unless you can buy just the grill insert from LR -Dan?) and so I wonder if anyone has had this done.

Obviously, I'm sorry I asked her and you would think I'd know better after 36 years of married bliss, but I did and so there you have it Bow down Geoff

I'd be interested in this too, as I am looking to chrome some interior trim, much like the newer range rover interior.

I know you can get chrome and satin chrome spray paint. Might try this and lacquer it afterwards. Tom
